How much did you shave the heads? I took roughly .025 off of mine and the timing was screwed, the timing belt jumped after 4k. I had to resleeve idler pulley No. 2 2mm's to take the slack out of the belt in a certain position. Now I think the belt is too tight. This was all done on a set of DE heads, the ZE heads are actually higher compression, most people would say I'm nuts but I've seen enough of them and it clear to see the deck is thicker on the DE heads.

not sure about the decking..I'll ask tomorrow. They were almost perfect when I gave them my heads..They should not have taken much off of it
