Re: Cyl. Head
The quick and easy way would be to post a picture (top and bottom sides). Another more accurate way would be to measure the volume and calculate the ratio.

Re: Cyl. Head
The combustion chamber is smaller, less volume, than a stock head. Pictures would be good.

Re: Cyl. Head
Several of the different brand higher compression heads used the improved heart shape combustion chamber .

Re: Cyl. Head
This should help you identify various heads.
