You are probably right. I don't know TOO much about the G60 engine.

How sure are you about the different combustion chambers? Up to this point
i've only heard that the G60 heads and the heads off a Digifant 8V are the
same. Except the g60 goes through a special hardening process, and has
different valves (i think only exhaust valves?). Not saying your wrong, just
trying to get as much knowledge as most poeple dont seem to know much about
this engine.
