Have a few cylinders with squish in the not so squished category. Removing the base gasket only does so much and removing some material would solve the problem.
We all read about aftermarket cylinders or big bore kits with the compression reading of 120psi, reducing the squish would raise compression. Most of us don't have access to a lathe or the funds to have the machine work done.
Anybody do something to remove some of the base material to reduce the clearance effectively lowering squish without a lathe?
