Is anyone else using this valves on their uprated engines?
Do you know if the Z7W uses the same forged rods as the Z7U?
Would you mind telling me a little more of your concerns about the high comp.You say no more than 8.5:1,but i was looking more at 9.5:1.
Is it the fact you don't think the bottom end will handle it,cos looking at the other threads the engine does seem to be bulletproof!?
I would like an engine that will give almost instant power for it will only be used as a street car and am not worried about top end.
I don't want to go low geared incase i have to make any long trips - would cost a fortune in fuel!!!

If you imagine, an A610 is more or less a standard Laguna engine with the compression dropped and runs 11psi. So with a high comp variant you could get the same with say 7psi.
