Seems ironic that the V8 crew are all ditching their iron heads for better performing aluminum ones, when over here in the IDI world we're talking about ditching our aluminum heads for iron ones...

should just make hydro aaz heads, u can convert hydro heads over to solid already anyway.

yeah, that would bring the price down, as there would be only one casting needed.

itd be nice to if he made a one though that did not have the extra oil drain but was made from the same casting, that way anyone could easily run this head. thats how the amc heads were made.

the solid lifter heads still had the bump but the drain wasn't drilled out

I will ask him, I'm sure something as simple as this will not call for a different casting, just a modification, if it is a cost issue I will stick to the hydro idea.

I will keep the comp stock as putting the aaz head on a 1.6 already has it at 17.5/1 And thanks for all of the advice, but we already talked about all of that and more.... yes, I said more. I don't want to get anyones hopes up so I won't say much more.

I already kinda hijacked elsewhere, but thought I would post it here for posterity. Whay kind of losses are there in the x-beam rods as opposed to the H, or I beams? The reason I wish to know, is that I would love to run X-beams in my setup because of weight, however, I don't want to run them because I have heard that they are not strong enough to handle the stresses of 40+ psi is there any merit to this? I realize to make them as light as possible they simply have les meat than I or H beams but I think that the weight difference "for my application anyways" will be worth the risk

why do people worry about the swirl chambers falling in, they can't fall in unless they break into pieces, and when they're broken it doesn't matter if they're peened in or not.

thats what im wondering. they have to come a long ways out of the head to fall out. or the face has to crack off. a pre cup sits about a half inch up in the head tho.. i never understood how one could just "fall out" with the head torqued down and head gasket in place..

securing the cup doesnt do crap if the face cracks off...

Screw in precups. Then they shouldnt fall out. You might have to run washers to index them..but eh..its an Iron head.

nifty idea, but how to make them face the correct direction?

"washers to index them" lol.
indexing them is so they all face the same direction..
