    High Compression Head, I think Not

    I wonder what makes this seller think this is a high compression head?

    Enough carbon deposits to bump it up to 4.3? I wonder why Model A people think 6.0 is high compression? My lawn mower is 7.5:1.

      Because it says so in the vendor catalogs, but that really is not the case as you say.

    Model A's and of course the famous AA's

        The compression was so high it push backward on the water pump impellor shaft and wore deep into the web in the head.
        Oh wait, original 4.2 heads did that all the time......and we all use a collar to stop that now. OK, I give, it is hi-comp because he says so
        LOL good find, Tom, so when are you gonna install it?

          Not me, I bought the 5.5 head from Bert's when I stopped there about 10 years ago. Still haven't installed it yet though.
          Time to make another trip to Bert's to check out his new location.

              Looks like a common $15 take a chance head. Rod
