Default single cam shaved head

my compression is low and radiator fluid is getting in some how. so im going to buy a shaved head to replace my stock one.

my question is.. is it bad to put a shaved head on? the head im going to buy is shaved 50 something. when a head is shaved , wat exactlly is being shaved? and is 50 too much?

compression has nothing to do with radiator fluid getting into the combustion chamber, you probably have a blown head gasket. what else is done to the motor?

and be careful about installing a shaved head that you really don't know about, they could be shaved wrong or shaved to much. shaved is referring to the surface of the head that meets the block.

ok the warped head could cause rediator fluid to get in, when you said " low compression" it sounded funny. if the head is warped then you will in fact need a new or shaved head. i don't know 50 is

maybe .050 of an inch?
and obviously your going to need a new head gasket because the warped head most likely damaged the one on your motor now.
