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 |

My heads WILL NOT be out in February! I will be sellling parts in February, but not heads! The heads are atleast ONE YEAR AWAY FROM TESTING!
To cast a head the right way is a seriuos duty thing. The answer is not BIGGER FINS, bigger fins COOL LESS! A longer, thinner fin cools extremely well. Imagine a stock TIV casting, with the stock finnage, but a TI exhaust port- Thats my head. Also the combsution chambers and plug holes will be optimized. Casting a head is not small time stuff, designing it is not either........If its nopt taken seriously the end result is just aftermarket, non thought out, pure junk that is made for one sole purpose.........To make money! |
