Has anyone done this to a Saito? I've been toying with the idea of doing this to my Saito .82 by shaving off some of the flange used to mount the head to the crankcase. I don't have any machining experience, however, nor the proper tools, so I have not tried it yet.


I'd like to increase the compression ratio on my Saito .82 to optimize its performance with the fuel I am currently using (25% Omega). I've seen people put 40% nitro through this engine so I figure there is a lot of room to really up the compression.


I'm glad to see you did this downunder. It is something I have had in the back of my mind for quite awhile. If you have any information or advice for modifying a Saito to have more compression please do post it!
