I have a little ST but... 1. I don't have the money for a swap until after I graduate from architecture school and 2. I like my car and I want to keep it till I'm through with college, and then have it become my project car.

For right now I want to get the most power from her that I can but...
it turns out my car is burning oil and I have to have a valve job done on it and have the head machined. If i'm going to go through all that trouble, should I also look into having the head shaved a little, for more compression in order to get just a LITTLE more power? Or should I just rule it out?

I'm not a mechanic so if anything I said is wrong, please correct me.

Thanks!
