    Default Maybe vacum leak or something

    Ok i had to change heads on the vl before i changed the head, the vacum was on about 20 at idle

    since i have changed the head it sits on about 15-18 on idle..

    it also idles a little rough, never had this head running on other engine, but it did have a turbo bolted to it with previous owner,

    would a lumpier cam then stock cause it to have a different vacum reading at idle?
    or is this just a vacum leak somewhere???


    cheers
