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

[Todd Phenneger]

IF they are different its not by much.  A 1-2 cc difference will
NOT Raise your compression to 10.2.  Look at the pistons, they
are very different.  ITs visible.  You dont change compression
from 9:1 to 10:1 simply by shaving a head down or having smaller
Combustion chambers.  Besides, after Polishing the chambers
you'll remove a little material anyhow.  Or are you not
polishign them?
