Cheers Martin . I need to move up to the pauter super pro rockers and am weighing up wether to do loads of welding to the heads to accept them or to raid the piggy bank and treat the car to new ones. The heads include titanium inlets ,super alloy exhaust valves,three sets of springs rocker covers,full set of pauter rockers and the autocraft ones including push rod tubes. The heads have had a lot of welding done already and there is porosity around the plugs and seats this dates back to before I got them but it hasn't got worse , will post a pic of it
Any questions just ask
Cheers russ

Hi,
Whats the Price? Bore? Chamber cc?
I assume they are water cooled from the pics.

Hi they are four inch bore heads with a cc of about 54 need to find my book to be sure. The price is about £1000 with all parts including new rocker gaskets and head gaskets
They will be fore sale for a week or so before I start the conversion to super pro rockers as I have to increase my spring pressure to 850 lbs
Yes they have been converted to water cooled and in conjunction with a Porsche fan they run all day on the road or the outer jacket can be picked off and cleaned to go back to air cooled I have the flow sheet and will get Martin to post
Cheers

Thanks for the reply, kind of knew they would be 4 inch bore. Was hoping you were going to say 94:)

Good luck with the sale, great price

More pictures from Russ

you can see how the water flows..... they can also be converted back to air cooled by taking the jacket off as the fins are still in there
