?Novarossi N21B 2001 BF head shimming?
Any help or feedback on this subject would be helpful.I am running 30% in a Novarossi N21B 2001 BF
motor do I need to shim the head? The factory spects say "not sugested over 25%" Any sugestions on how much to shim? I have looked for the factory sugestion but can't find anywhere.Does Anyone have exsperiance running this motor on 30%?or the proper way to determine shime thickness.
Please help,
Darrin

You could run 25% or you could add one 0.1mm shim. Unless you live at altitude. If you live above 3000 or 4000 feet above see level, you won't need a shim to run 30%.

The performance is great for me! I didnt know if running it like it is will shorten the life of the motor. I am a firm beleiver in if it aint broke dont mess with it. Excluding rutine maintenance .I will ask around the track and see what they have to say also.
thanks,
