ya this is for a g3.0 engine. i hope it will be ok. i tryed to measure how much clearnce in the head and its was close to how long the plug is.

ya it is becouse you gain a littel compresion witch = more power... to much compresson = Fireing early and runing poorly or not at all... i have actually seen a engine run backwords from too much compresson!

lol we used to do that to my freinds 2 stroke dirtbike. you just have to push start it backwards and its starts in reverse. lol we never did get good at riding backwards espeshaly when the powerband kicked in:D:D
