My part collection is coming along well, just got oil cooler, cam belt, and aux belt to go.

Still tempted to skim those heads though

I wouldn't.

Miss aligned inlet, shorter cambelt runs to time up (should be tolerable with the adjuster but would definately want the lower idler being of the adjustable type), minimal gains.....smaller controlled combustion bowl

Now you've got me worried....

Don't they have to if the gaskets been changed? If not then when do they need to be skimmed?
I got mine done

You only skim a head if required i.e if its not flat.

Normlay they only warp due to over heating.....not normaly something associated with head gasket failure.

I am personaly yet to find a V6 head that I have worked on (which is quite a few!) which needed skinning

The inlet differences would be minimal - I did work it out, cam timing was my only worry

What's the device attached onto the back of the head in this picture?

[Marks DTM Calib]

Its a capacitor to suppress the coil interference
