Cylinder heads Is Charlie Yapp still making flatheads for the Model A? Or Snyders making performance heads?
|
Re: Cylinder heads Snyders still does , they have a whole table of 2nds in the showroom in Ohio .The seconds I looked at seem to have pits in combustion chamber or areas the didn’t clean up when machining .Not sure how this would effect use ability.

I see that both are out of stock, Yapp's last price was $850, I can beat that, but now I know what to shoot for. |
Re: Cylinder heads Just to say - I really like my Brierley head.
It pushed this down the beach at 74mph... https://images.vhra.co.uk/resized/ho...e4eb0056f6.jpg |
Re: Cylinder heads Hot, have you done anything else to the engine other than HC head?

Re: Cylinder heads Just FYI
Be careful of internet advertising because it more than likely is out of date For instance you can look at Donovan “D” motors on line with an advertised price But these have been sold out for some time J |

Re: Cylinder heads That was directly from Dan, but do check with him on current costs. It seems that some
peoples prices are from older inventory and when it runs out and they have to remake it the price goes up quite a bit as their cost have also risen. I think you are seeing that now Jim. |

This is the only photo of Jim's head I can find on the web. Looks like all you need to buy is a new water pump gasket. |

74 is at the end of a half mile sprint and with 3.27 gears it's still pulling at that... |

Re: Cylinder heads I notice there is no relief over the pistons.
When running higher than 7 to 1 or so, I would suggest people think about heli-coils in the block in addition to the ARP studs with their washers and nuts. Putting high strength studs in doesn't give you full strength unless the threads in the block can carry the load. Especially, if you are adding a few extra ft-lbs to the torque (65 instead of 55). If you are building from scratch, your engine builder can check the threads in the block and make the call on inserts. I am sure there will a lot of response regarding the torque but you want to take full advantage of high strength studs for higher compression engines. |
