not sure about getting the right head


Recommended Posts

sitting on 66.25 mm cylinders full drag ported stock stroke.........         i want to bump my compression up...... the question is do i need 66mm domes ? or can i just run normal domes ?             would that be classified big bore ?

Roughly putting what domes  would put me around the 165 psi range   at seal level............        i cant remember what i had in my old bike ....i think 18cc ? i cant remember.     someone chime in ....   with what they reccomend head wise..... i have no studs in the heads .   my builds so close to being a reality.

whats your reasoning for wanting 165 compression ? you dont want any of the head flat surface hanging into the bore so 64mm domes would be a bad move, if thats what you ment by using normal domes ? if the exh port is hogged out then its likely your compression ratio would be through the roof to get 165psi. if you have a competant shop in the area you might wanna have them take a look before you get headed to far in the wrong direction

Any idea on the exhaust durations? Actual Compression ratio will be considerably higher then what cranking compression will indicate if you have something in the 198-202 range. So pick your fuel type and do the tune accordingly.

 

As far as 66.5mm pistons in the domes. I think your definitely in big bore territory but might be better off calling DriveLine or Noss Machine about domes to work with that bore opposed to just tossing 68mm domes on.

Thanks guys...        yes proper domes needed then . thats what i thought.            need to be running 110 octane  no lower , not much higher...  yes im aware of advantages on alky.     need my setup for race gas .. easily easily obtainable for me.        the ports are not extremly hogged out...                   Noss maschine deals with direct orders and dome specs ?     Thanks guys , enjoy your evening

generally on heads with no locating dowels you machine the chamber diameter just a hair bigger than the cylinder bore to account for any slop when the head is bolted on. that way you dont end up with the mating surface hanging into the bore. be sure you know the bore size other wise youll bring undo grief upon yourself. and dont tell them you want 165psi. best to just let them do all the thinking and you worry about the assembling
