Hi All

I recently got a Jack Knight Developments (unused) bare 16v cylinder head, originally just memorabilia. However, if I can obtain some technical information about the complete set up I’d like to get this up and running.

If you have or know someone that has a JKD 16v head or have technical info (not sales brochures), please get in contact with me.

I do have a lead where someone is running a 1380 JKD engine in a rally car based in south Wales, together with the engine builder ISJ Engineering. Unfortunately, I can only find them on Facebook (so I may have to finally make an account).

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Nathan

Have you tried the 16v miniclub: https://www.16vminiclub.com/

someone on there might have info your looking for.

I have posted there, although most activity on the 16v forum. I posted here because there are more people visiting this forum and any info that I can get or contacting someone with a setup would be very helpful.

Also worth trying on 'Sporting Minis' if you do Facebook as many of the older generation Mini tuners and racers read and post on there:-

I think that you may have acquired a head that has been surfacing occasionally for many years, if so, it was at the Goodwood revival 10 or more years ago.

 

From the bit of chat as I was looking on, it may have used Imp cam buckets, but nobody was coming up with 'off the shelf' camshafts, and I don't recall any suggestions about the valves.
