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 |

ken, the cnc can do the e&h ports as well? leaving the rough finnish on the intake? the voids in castings are formed by cores that breakout after the casting. i wonder if the fins on the barrels would have to be cored items as well. i'm sure you know that but those unfamiliar with casting methods may not. i worked in a non-ferous foundry for 5 years 48 hours a week. gruelling way to make a living.
