How much of a tempature increase are some of you all noticing when
having the head shaved .100 or more???

With a good rad you should not notice any difference. I was having cooling problems last summer but I replaced my rad with a new extra capacity V8 W/ air rad and I never even came close to over heating in near triple digit temps this summer. Never got over 2/3's on the gage even after running it hard.

I am using stock length push rods at 0.100". I would suggest you not remove more than that from the head. my chambers are only 39cc's. If you are looking for compression I would suggeest decking the block as well as shaving the head.
