Nothing wrong with taking a dremel to the head and letting it rip with one gasket. B-) I've dremeled a head for a larger than stock cylinder works great. Sprees have a very large squish clearance from what I can tell so as long as it clears the piston to some degree its gonna work better than stock. Here's what I did to a head for my spree bbk :-) a malossi head hacked to fit under the spree shroud its already the right diameter to fit the 48mm bbk. And once I order a new o ring I'm ditching the head gasket :-D ImageImageImage

Here is the link at treats for the head. I bet that those heads could be purchased just about anywhere. I think that the dip head from eBay would work well doing the same thing and less expensive. There also is a 50cc version of the high compression head like that on eBay as well, which be a great stock upgrade if a an 84/85 head is not available to swap in with a domed piston.

Either a dremel or a "rotary tool" is the generic name for it ;-) get some cut off wheels, some assorted carbide burr cutters, some inexpensive diamond bits and of course stones and there ain't nuthin you cant port or modify B-) I did the major cutting and hacking on the head with my angle grinder with a cut off wheel. The angle grinder is another can't live without tool. 20$ on sale :-)
