Hi Guys,
Just a note here. I read in the Nissan motorsport catalog that quote: "Compression increases in E-series engines should be obtained with the use of alternate pistons and NOT by cutting the cylinder head [OE thickness = 120mm/4.72"].

Another reason not to cut the head is that you will retard the cam timing considerably, and the timing belt will be too long as well.
