No experience with the heads, but I do run CB wedgeports with an engle FK87 and 1.4 scat rockers (measure 1.5) and I love that combination. When I had a nicer street gearbox (close, but not really close ratio) it was lovely on the street.

Well, it is not always going as planned. Again it is leaking oil between the head and cylinderbarrel at the 1/2 side of the engine. Sad 3/4 side is dry.
The first kilometers looked everything ok and there were no leaks and engine runs good, but after some driving the engine didn't run properly.

Thinking what might be wrong:
- The seating of the head or barrel that is not flat. But it is leaking oil after say 100 kilometers so if it was this it should be leaking from the first start of engine.
- Could it be the headstuds that came loose? Case has new M10 CSP studs but no casesavers. Torqued the nuts to spec.




Going to check the 4 bottom studs if they are still at the right torque. For the upper ones the engine has to be out, can it blindfolded now Grin

Has anyone had any experience using these heads ? And any recommendations for a suitable cam shaft and rocker ratio to suit?

I'm looking for a spicier combination than my current 2276cc

Can't figure out how to lighten a Vw front
You can put lead in the front if you have to drive fast
Because having the front wheels 1m up in the air does not give good times
/// M


While i mostly agree, if we do more work on the front end aero to try create more downforce then we can safely run a lighter car  Cool
