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, we also made lost wax molded in plaster of paris, bake out the wax, pour them, soak in water to sorftn the plaster. items for tiny little electic train engines out of brass. wheels, driving arms, the stuff that makes up a $1k ho train item. a wadded up handful of magnesiun shavings wadded up and having some water tossed on them is pretty impressive. have someone else toss the water. shavings on your hand will = a trip to the plastic surgeon. you're right about the cost of cnc manufactured heads i think. cost prohibative for our application. $6k worth of heads on a $4k car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) .
