Milling a Shee head

[2002shee]

So here's what I got. A stock Banshee head, a milling machine and a Shee with only T5s on it. Instead of going with a cool head I'd figure I'd play with the stock head. My question is how much do I take off to suit my needs? Like I said the Banshee is stock except for T5s and jetting. I run 20cc domes in my trail Shee and it's perfect. With the 20cc domes I get about 169psi and still run pump gas with no pinging. I'm at sea level here in Jersey. I would like to be close to that with this Shee but maybe with a hair less compression just to be safe. I realize it would just be easier to send it to Denny but I'd like to give it a go myself. So what do the Gods of 2strokes have to say? Thanks.

You can't really shave enough off to do what you want. If you did, then you would have to re-cut the squish bands to get the squish angle and area that you want for your application. I've just been through this recently when i bought a .040 milled head with dreams of front wheels in the air. Just buy a coolhead, you'll spend more time just trying to get the milling right than it's worth.

the guy wants to mod his own head,theres lots more satisfaction in a job done by modding bits yourself rather than just buying off the shelf shit,can someone post a bit more detail on what should be done and why for the guy and others,soz im not into all of the off da shelf kit,not saying it is shit but lots is poo!! lol lol.

take 30 thousandths off and call it a day, much more than that and you'll run into squish band problems
