you'll need to swop the looms over, and refit your existing front pulley assy and pulse generator in place of the vibration damper on the 85 mill.

might be an idea to use your existing flywheel too, the early one is heavier(just !)

go for it fella !

higher compression will be easily noticable when exercising the loud pedal.
