Pinto head skimming
Motty - 11/11/03 at 05:35 PM

Is it worth having the head of a standard 1.8 Pinto skimmed? If so, what is the optimum amount to have taken off (provided it has not been done in the past) and at what kind of cost?

You could fit a 2litre of course and get an instant straight swap power increase.

Hows that work then - drop compression ratio and get a power increase?
