the secondary ports can go from 34 to beyond 36 and there is some evening up and port matching


staying with the same cams and bottom end. the Haibeck MLS gaskets will raise compression a bit.



Doc, you asked if they are thinner? I'm not so sure, I think compressed they are, but the CR increase is likely more from surfacing the head



the MLS is more forgiving and should durn sure seal better than the blown hg on there now.
