The extra stroke of the TR6 motor makes building compression easy. The 2L motor is a little more challenging because of the shorter stroke. You just can’t shave enough off the head to get really high compression without getting into the water passages. Pop ups are necessary to maximize compression.<br><br><div dir="ltr">Chuck</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Dec 6, 2021, at 6:40 PM, Bob Bownes -Seiri via Fot <fot@autox.team.net> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div dir="ltr"></div><div dir="ltr">Hmm,</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Will a TR6 head fit?
