  1. Ducman,

    I was not trying to take sides but was wanting customers to realize that there bad customers who scam and dealers can not eat the cost of every scam.  Dealers are selling at cut throat prices because of Chinese parts already.  You are obviously a good customer.  I just want good customers to give a little leeway at times knowing dealers (most dealers) are doing the best they can while trying to stay in business and not get hurt from scammers.

  2. Try Gordon composites for carbon.  As far as cutters another option that I have used and works well is diamond grit tooling.  Another option instead of carbon is epoxy board.  You can find a chemistry sink manufacturer and buy reject countertops or cutouts pretty cheap and it is essentially the same as carbon.  I think weight is about the same as well.  The difference is you won't likely have the fiber in it.  I have machined that as well with diamond grit cutters. Dirty Dirty stuff to machine.

  3. These are not our domes.  These are domes made for all the current dm and cheetah heads by others.  What I am showing here is that all the domes I have measured were .002" diff at least and for this cylinder where the one center stud sits on the edge of both domes this is a problem.  Our domes, when we made them were always right on the money.

  4. A couple other points to make here.  We tightened up the water flow so more is forced into the cylinder around the exhaust.  We also machined the head at the top of the dome to the correct size so that the domes will not leak coolant here.  Lastly we made the angle fitting in two pieces so that we could avoid the bolt from cutting off coolant flow.  Look inside the angle fittings on other dm heads and you see about 20% of the flow is blocked.  Not good for an engine that creates so much heat.

  5. We have new billet DM and Cheetah heads that use current style domes.  The greatest feature on this head is the center stud block.  This block is oring sealed and will cock a bit to clamp down on two uneven thickness domes.  The biggest problems with Dm and Cheetah heads is the center stud will not clamp down tight on uneven domes.  Most domes are at least .002" different in thickness.  If you look closely at most cylinders you see black at the center stud showing blow by pas t the orings.  This head will keep the compression where it is supposed to be.  We have straight and angle fitting option heads.  These are listed on ebay. I would link them but it never works on my computer.
