My questions are these:
1. When considering squish measurement, my EVO II cylinder install guide says to set it at 0.45mm and 0.50mm, and I was reading here that 0.7mm would be better for street use with occasional racing. I was dialing it in precisely to the .45/.5 recommendation and now hear that it may be better to completely forget that and head towards .7mm if I want to ride mostly street. Is this true? Lastly on this, to obtain the right squish, I would have to use a series of base gaskets to get the right thickness, is this common to have several stacked up or just one thick one. (Newbie)
2. The Evo II looks like it is set up to leave out the thermostat since the mounting holes are left undrilled by Polini and frankly I don't think it would fit in the new cylinder anyway, so run without it?
3. My original Minarelli LC engine's stock cylinder has two small inlet/outlets next to the coolant hose attatch point on the head cover and the polini has only one. How do these hoses function and what are they doing? heat sensor? vaccum? I'm kind of a newbie on the different sensor/vaccum hoses.
4. The instructions then mention setting the timing and give three different ways to calibrate. What's the easiest way to set the timing? And which tool works the best? degree wheel? how to?
Thanks,
