Ok, attached is a scan from the April 1997 issue of Autocar magazine, in which the interviewer talks to the driver of a UK-based Formula Ford team about their unorthodox engine mod during the '96 season. For maximum authenticity, I believe someone other than myself ought to host this on an otherwise legit web site, and post a direct link to it.
Brainey- how on earth did you find that link so quickly?

I've thought about milling the head but that's more money I don't want to spend and I don't think the results would be quite as powerful as i'd like
If you shaved 1mm.
that would be......
3.07" diameter at .020" high, so .1480 in3 subtracted from each cylinder.
that would raise the CR from 9.4:1 to 9.97:1 same damn effect without the fail.

Very stealthy. I went to look for this thread in the BS section, and said to myself "WTF? Even if someone deleted it, normally I can see those."
I must admit, I've always been a bit leery of using MT as a staging ground for this sort of thing, based solely on the fact that it is so very public. I'm really amazed that there are so many folks over there who still don't seem to know about it.
