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 |

mikes right. the pattern work is the killer. not to mention the proto type refinements. the "shrink" of the metal as it cools has to be built into the pattern. pattern builders are artisains, are in high demand, and call their own shots.
