Coolheads

[jbooker82]

I was told once they were crushed they needed replaced.

 

How is that any different than a head gasket?

 

I reuse my O rings. I do have 2 sets that I rotate.

What would be a reason to take the cool heads off? It almost seems like people are against the coolhead in a since

to change to different dome sizes. you inspect the o-rings and replace if they are bad, but the are re-usable

I was told the metal head gaskets are reusable. You take them off to change comes, inspect top end ect. The bottom like outside of changeable compression, they don't do what they are supposed to. I didn't even notice a degree when I took mine off. They are for people who want to change compression, and looks.

I'd be interested to see what the Chariot Performance heads are all about. I'm a big fan of the Noss heads but just curious. Anyone have any pics of install or assembling it?

So are the cool heads worth the buy?

 

And where could I get timing plate so I can bump +4?

for shaw man, more compression = more power and if they dissipate the heat better there's moe power again.

you can get timing plates from some of the site sponsors or rmatv, searching generally helps.

Orings are most definitely reuseable. If the dome orings are burnt at all then those need replaced.

The head is definitely worth the money! Look at it this way, you can shave a stock head, but then when you port, you would need to shave it more to keep the same compression. With a coolhead you could simply swap out domes. You also run the possibility of squish issues when shaving the stock head beyond a certain point. To keep it simple this will affect the burn within the cylinder.

 

I'm sure Jeff and pretty much any of the sponsors will have adjustable timing plates. My opinion, I went with a Ricky Stator, cast plate; I couldn't see twice the money for a billet timing plate. On some of your earlier questions, on a stock port, I noticed a big bump from Boyeson reeds up to VF3's, big difference in throttle response!
