OHV build just about wrapped up.
Just about there on the first OHV build. Not my build, just the first aluminum OHV head.

Re: OHV build just about wrapped up.
Most overheads are rocker arm type, not all.
Some are DOHC J

Re: OHV build just about wrapped up.
What engine is that with the dual overhead cams? There are two cam lobes per cylinder on each side and 4 ports shown on the near side.

Re: OHV build just about wrapped up.
Are they a recent build? Looks like lots of billet machine work there.

Re: OHV build just about wrapped up.
Bick,
fairly recent, yes chain housing is from billet all else castings from '70-ish Earlier versions known as Bee-Jay from the late Bruce Johnson. If I remember correctly, the original patterns came in from Australia, maybe McGee? John

Looks a bit flash to come from Oz in the 70's. There was a Riley repo head sold by Andy Jenkins without rockers at that time and the patterns ended up in the US. |

I did a little research on the Bee-Jay head, the original patterns did come from McGee. In fact, the original ports were laid out as intakes on the right, ex on left. One of the first changes was to reverse this. J
