I have an older novarossi RX21 with a sleeve that was modded presumably by Andy Brown (AB is engraved on the bottom of the case). When I tried to run it in my mono, torque was lacking. After talking with Glenn Quarles about a P+S a while back, he said to check head clearance as that may be the issue. Checked head clearance today with caliper method as well as using a piece of solder, and both came out to around .016", well above the .006" recommended by Glenn.
The issue is, there are currently NO shims in place to remove to lower head clearance. Glenn mentioned having the head button milled down a little if there were no shims. Who would I talk to about having the button milled down? I may look into getting a standard plug head instead, as the turbo plugs are a bit trickier to find locally.
