Greg,
I agree and disagree. I did the Vizard mods to the Monster motor and this is
one of the ways we were able to get the compression down to 10.5:1. I MAY
disagree about having o change them because of alloy / copper reaction. I
used the blue Hylomar spray on both sides of the gasket and have seen no
problems.
Wish I was where you are,and I still have that package to send you. I will,
just very busy.
