<p> Since good MGB heads are getting to be hard to find, I wouldn't
mill the head beyond what's needed to true it. Buy high
compression pistons instead. <br>

we milled the head to increase compression. Can I do the same
on my MGB? If so, how much to get it up- to about 10:1? Are
there any weak links in the system that need to be addressed
to accommodate the cam and compression? Valve springs,
valves, Flywheel lightening, etc. Did Kastner publish a
"Competition Preparation Manual" for the MGB, like he did for
the TR-3/4? If so, are copies available, and do you know
where I might find one?<br>
