Buen dia, disculpen mi ingles.
Les queria mostrar las tapas de cilindro que se estan desarrollando en Argentina, estas tapas tienen el arbol de levas a la cabeza, para un mayor desarrollo de alzada y permanencia de las mismas, evitando el problema de las varillas y los balancines.


Good day, they excuse my english. I want to show the cylinder heads to them that are developing in Argentina, these covers have the Camshaft at the top, for a greater development of raised and permanence of the same ones, avoiding the problem of the rods and the balance beams.

What....the....heck...


Wow. I am amazed. A OHC 6. Well I have seen it all. I'll see you guys later...

Is this supposed to bolt on to an older 6? I don't really see how, but where there's a will, there's a way.

That thing is sweet though, looks awesome
 
Hola Meteoro,

I think I know who is building that head :wink: he was the same head builder/designer that built the two SP aluminum heads that I have. Several years ago he mentioned building an overhead cam head and possibly dual overhead cam also. Looks great !!!!

The valvetrain reminds me of a VW water cooled motor with the lifters running under the cam like that. Looks sweet. I am guessing there will be a sprocket that goes on the cam, a longer chain, and some sort of tensioner to make it all work :D
 
Now, since there's this new fancy head being developed, maybe Mike will drop the price of the heads to a couple hundred bucks, so I pick up one...hahaha in my dreams

:lol:
 
¡Maravillosa! Awesome! ¿Como, cuando y donde? How, how much, and where? Tal vez Miguel, nuestro patrocinador, las pueda importar. Maybe Mike, our host, can import them. :D
 
I was hoping either Martin(Southern Cross Racer) or John(Inliner) would bring these over. Can you imagine a DOHC version? WOW
 
Heard it was very exspensive. Not trashin it but why do a OHC head and not design it as a crossflow where you'd be able to gain more flow?
 
I believe being able to reuse the current intake and exhaust was the prime motivation to keeping the configuration. I don't doubt the designer's ability at all, the aluminum heads he has been building for the racers in Argentina for many years are capable of 12 second quarter mile runs(normally aspirated) and that's on limited compression.
 
looks great....but I am on the crossflow bandwagon too...

why not build it to take aussie xflow bits? then you could just reuse that existing gaskets and aftermarket and gain better port size and shape from the freed up landscape. I wish mike had done this on his heads.
 
Crossflow would be nice I guess, but I'm hoping that these heads will prompt folks to unload those old SP and ME heads...maybe a few will even make it out this way.
 
The early VW water cooled motors did OK without crossflow. I imagine they kept it counterflow for the same reason Mike did... ability to use existing parts.

I'd like to see one of these installed and see how the timing belt/chain is set up.
 
If you look at the pics, it looks like they modified an existing head by either welding a piece to it or by modifing the patterns, then bolted the upper piece on. So I would guess the decision was definitely based on using existing parts, including their existing aluminum head.

meteoro1248, I don't want to delete the pics, so would you please downsize them so they meet the maximum size allowed, as per our forum regulations. Including your signature pic. Thanks.

I really feel it, want not to break the rules. It already modifies the quality the photos, I want to show great so that they can appreciate them in detail. again I request pardon.
 
Meteoro,

¿Quién(corredores) utiliza actualmente las tapas? (Who uses the heads?)

look at the soon to be built heads in the background.
