Precision International and they are standard so with the extra depth and "titties" i suppose they come out at 9:1? Was thinking of some VN ones in stead to drop comp a little but then got baffled with different compression heights and different head chamber sizes on VN heads so i thought stay VR with VR.
Was also tempted with their forgies for about 650 plus tax but they are 9.9:1 and thought against that comp ratio. Still these look ok and i suppose the tit will help with swirl?
Block and crank back next week then an all nighter till shes going

Worried? In what way? You like your tits less pointy and bigger i suppose. I wasn't expecting them to look like that either but they are here and going in. The thought has crossed my mind about skimming the titties off to drop compression but im thinking they left them there for some reason and don't want any more monumental stuff ups on my behalf:banstick:
Suppose ill be the crash test "DUMMY"

Yeh mate, These photos make them look like there is a little nipple on top. but they are actually rounded on top and the pointy looking bit is a little indent. Think of them as innie not outie nipples.:rofl2:
Sure youve seen some of them???

Not just a job of weighing each end as without this rig the readings were all over the place. Even rigged without the ball bearings was still a gram either way, but with this set up with the ball bearings i got them to within 0.2 grams end for end and all total weight to 0.1gm but one is 0.4gm lighter but waaaaay closer than stock as the total weight difference was about 5 gm originally
