There is a guy on here named RoadRebel (Aka Dr. Phil) who is a fricking genius with this stuff. He has helped my brother out a lot.

Anyway he did a post a while back that may be of some help. Here is a link.

This should be a mandatory read for anyone building around the L92 heads. Long but very informative and sometimes humorous.
