Yep... lq9 replacement pistons with the 63cc heads (tsp 5.3 stage 2.5) should put me right at 11:1 compression. I'm hoping the torquer v3 cam won't have any ptv issues, but we are definitely going to check as soon as I get the rocker arms done up. If it's a problem I will tame the cam down, but several have told me they ran it with no issues.

It only hurts when I sit down. When I stand up I get light headed and the pain goes away!

Sweet!! I've rarely seen slugs that flat. Then again I'm not a junk yard rat like Joseph (1slowbrick) is. He could tell you the thickness of a head gasket from a scooter 4 blocks away.

Haha... I actually bought those back in like 01 or 02 from Discount before they started putting them on the Toyota. They don't tuck and I was actually thinking of getting some different wheels, but I'm running a little over budget so probably have to stick with them a little longer.
