[urq] Re: [20v] 7A vs 3B C/R

Sure, you always need to back up info..the one thing that concerns me, the original compression differences that he listed and attributed to the head cc are exactly the differences that I know are made up for in the pistons...thus, I'd suspect that he has not measured and is making assumptions, but that's _my_ assumption, so there you go  =)

Thanks,
Javad
