Default POLL: The one that really matters

Regardless of the brand or manufacturer, how many of you out there would not have a high compression head on your engine even if you got it for free?

Vote with your post, Yes or No

Yes = I'd like to have one.

No = Wouldn't have one even if you gave it to me.

(Now don't be afraid to vote no if that is your preference.)

Thanks

Larry B.

I bought one and I would buy another, as a matter of fact I wouldn't own/drive a model a without one very long. P.S. I want to be 1st , if you are giving one away, Larry!!!

No, but I will keep the original as a spare just in case a future owner might want it or, if we have to start burning wood gas again (don't laugh), I will need the lower compression.

Yes. I am currently running an original Police Head (with the cast in B) but would go for one of yours if I needed one for another car.

Hi Larry, first good to have you back posting again!
I have 2 model As and both have your 5.9 head on them.
If I were to buy another model A, that's the first thing I would do, change to a high compression head, hopefully one of yours! Then a Volvo overdrive.

Yes,I'm now running one on my 30 tudor.Will be purchasing one for my wife's tudor when ready.Also will purchase one for my 26 T when ready.I've played both ways and you cannot beat the increased HP with a HC head.

I have one of yours that I purchased several years ago. Finally got it on the car. Please don't make me go back. Would like another one. Good to see you back.

YES ! It would take some time to count the number of OHV and Flat Heads I've had over the years, you can never have too many. Sadly at this point in my life I only have one Cyclone head that is on Dad's Roadster. I'd like to have a 4Port Riley again, and a BB RAJO for a T.

Larry:

Yes!!! I have three of yours on my cars. I bought one from Snyder recently but the engine is not in the recently purchased car yet. I really appreciate the increased performance and would not go back. For the money it is well worth it.

I only had one blown head gasket problem and I think that it was due to removing and reinstalling the ignition cable by loosening the head bolt.

I'm looking forward to the day when my 29CCPU is at the point where I can install a high compression head. currently being held up with transmission and clutch issues

Living on the top a a hill I could really use the extra umph form a little more compression.

thanks Larry!
