COOL HEAD AND LONGROD SPACER PLATE


ROOFCOCK

Recommended Posts

SO I HAVE BEEN HEAVILY MODDING MY SHEE AND ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER THE ENGINE IS CLOSING UP. I WAS USING AN ADA RACING COOLHEAD. THINKING THE PRO DESIGN DOMES WOULD WORK I PURCHASED THEM FROM THE GUY WHO DID MY PORTING AND BORING. WELL WHEN I FOUND OUT THEY WOULDNT WORK I JUST BOUGHT THE PRO DESIGN COOL HEAD TO SAVE A HASSLE AND TIME. SINCE I AM AFTER LOW END FOR WOODS RIDING I WENT FOR THE TOP END SPACER PLATE (4MM LONGROD CRANK) WHICH IS BASICALY A PLATE WITH A HEAD GASKET ON EACH SIDE. PRO DESIGN SAYS NOT TO USE THE STOCK HEAD GASKET BECAUSE THE O RINGS SEAL IT. WELL WHAT ABOUT THE SPACER PLATE. DO I REMOVE A GASKET FROM ONE SIDE OR USE IT HOW IT IS. ALSO HE SENT ME A CAN OF COPPER SPRAY A GASKET. AS I HAVE NEVER USED THIS BEFORE I AM A LITTLE LOST...DO I USE IT ON THE HEAD THE CYLINDER BASE OR BOTH

 

THANKS IN ADVANCE....ROOF

 

PS ANYONE WANT TO BUY A HEAD CHEAP

I would use stroker domes before using the spacer plate on top of the cylinders. Way more reliable and simple. Of coarse I am not a performance shop but I believe that is the way almost all of them do it.

I do make stroker domes. The advantage of the stroker domes is they probably seal better than stacked gaskets. If you decide to go that route, you should check the deck height.
