Well, my used used heads were different than I thought I was getting. I don't think th PO knew what he had. He sold them as a standard L5.
Specs that I have verified:
94mm bore
40x35 valves = L5
76 or 77cc intake runners = L7
64cc chambers
Aircooled.net CNC'd in large print on the bottom fin.
049 castings
Ports have not been touched since CNC'd from the looks of it.
Was this a mistake somehow that got out the door? Did someone install smaller valves after new?
Is this some secret racers trick: venturi effect with the medium size ports tapering down towards the smallish 40mm valve.
I'm told by the PO that these are circa 2014.
Should I go bigger valves to match the runners?
If so what size? Having a local a vw machinist do the work, so is it worth the cost over buying new Panchitos for $600-700 or
BTW, paid $400.
