Skimmed pinto head
How do you tell if its been done previously? Is there a dimension from rocker gasket face to the cylinder face?

My head is off, but at work, I'll measure it tomorrow
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

..as promised, it is EXACTLY 95.000mm from rocker gasket face to cylinder deck face, assuming mine has not been skimmed previously, but the exact
measurements look like it was designed that way

unless it had been dramatically skimmed (which would only normally be the case with a decent head i.e. bronze guides, ported, bigger valves etc etc
then I wouldnt worry too much. The timing is fairly easy to set up as long as you can hear pinking (that's basically how it would be done on a
rolling road anyway) and you shouldnt trust the factory setting re the timing because on a pinto this is notoriously innaccurate anyway! Fuelling
wise, you should get the carb jetting checked quickly on a rolling road anyway just to be sure, in which case it doesn't really matter. Only way
to accurately check the CR is the measure the chamber cc's and piston heights etc etc and do it that way. (but as I said, I wouldnt worry unless
building a competition engine)
