20/25 Higher Compression Cylinder Head.

We are sorry, but the despatch of this cylinder head has been delayed because we find that the standard 20/25 sparking plug is not good enough with the increased compression.

All our high compression jobs are now running on 14 m/m.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} plugs and so we have had to get some special 18 m/m.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} plugs for this head. We hope to despatch it at the end of the week.
