Hey all decided to try and eliminate some of that excessive squish in my 372 to try and get it to run a little stronger, so I tore it down, took out the air filter holder divider just to see if there would be a difference, probably have to take the divider out in the intake boot aswell but for now leaving it in.
measured squish with no gasket got .013 so found a card that brought it up to .023 which I think is a good number from reading through posts, and that's all I've done, don't really have the know how to do much more, I polished the exhaust port up a bit it was pretty caked with carbon, same with the piston head.
now the goal here is to be able to run longer bars 28 - 32" stronger, so I'm assuming if I leave it as is with that added compression it should give me a bit more torque yea? is there any minor touch ups I could do?
