Dont suppose anyone has any info on this head? I cant find any stamping on it, but it currently has paint over everything. Its an old a series 12G940 casting. 

 

It has round combustion chambers and the ports are different shapes, it also has double valve springs, valves are 29mm and 35mm

 

Any help would be great.

Custom jobbie for forced induction?

[mini13]

a company called heads you win did chambers like this,

 

also MED did circular exhaust ports

i agree with the comment about forced induction, i think thats what this would have been intended for. having said that, the chambers dont look very deep. if you could measure the capacity of the chambers, that would give you a good idea as to what it was used for.

 

im not expert, but im pretty sure round chambers like that dont work well on N/a engines, hence why everyone seems to keep the heart shaped chambers.

Cheers for the info guys, so would it be worth me taking it down the machine shop to get checked out?

[cradley-heathen]

i think it depends what you want to do with it?

 

have you got an engine you want to use it on?

[Tomf]

Iv not got a FI engine so just to see what has been done to it and then probs put it on enay
