Russ,
Yes you can adjust the volume that way but you can always go to a =
thicker head gasket to get you there. You also have to know the deck =
height of the block
it=E2=80=99s going on.

Subject: [Fot] Head question on TR-6
=20
For the past 20 years or so I have had a NOS Circle B 6 cylinder head on =
a shelf in the parts room. For some reason I assumed it was for a TR-6 =
and would be ideal as a starting point for an eventual TR-250 project. =
Must to my disappointment I find it is a Mk2 GT-6 head. Likely it would =
afford too high a CR sitting on a 2500cc engine in stock condition.=20
The question is=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6 Is it unreasonable to think I =
can open up the combustion chamber to bring the CR down to ~ 10.5:1 =
using it on a 2500cc application ?
Any of you have the combustion chamber volume to achieve this using flat =
top pistons ??
=20
Anyone out there have done this before? No point in trying to reinvent =
the wheel. Serial number on head is 517528.
Snow on the ground this AM and temps in the 20s has me already in the =
winter project mode!
=20
Thanks,
