Has anyone done any aluminum casting before???
It seems that with all the type 1 head being cast, someone of these manufacturers might be convinced to run off some new castings for type 4 heads...... Maybe twin plug.... Bigger fins??? Better port design Better flow Lots of things could be done..... Has anyone looked into this before??? Rich |

QUOTE It seems that with all the type 1 head being cast........ about the only "real" common item between the T1 head and the T4 head is that they are made from aluminum..... what I mean is that, a new pattern(s) would have to be created from scratch, the cost for such an item would have to be absorbed by someone and unless there is a proven market in the thousands "right now", the manufactures are not going to eat the cost (a few grand once you factor in reverese engineering and even more for R&D if you want to "improve" the factory head design) |
