  1. There might be issues besides tuning causing the orings to blow but I might try backing the timing off (9 degrees is quite a bit of advance). The fact that it is

    also blowing the plugs out points pretty strong at detonation. 'Shelf' domes are usually safe with alky domes but alky domes

    aren't terribly safe with gas, (race or otherwise). The domes are 4mill 17cc? Did I make them?

  2. Could you be detonating? I ask mainly because of the 17cc domes? If you are detonating, something will give like the spark plugs backing out, blowing orings, or grenading the engine.....the first two are cheaper..

     

    What is the kicking compression?

  3. I can make some for you or you could get them through Jeff. If he ported your motor he would be a good choice. If not give me a call. It would be helpful to know what is in there now,,,probably 19cc stroker domes, maybe even 18cc judging by your compression.

  4. I can't resist any longer....

     

    A reworked stock head can perform very well. I use the term 'reworked' because simply milling the stock head only raises the compression and can yield a too tight squish clearance.

     

    Brandon 'reworks' the head the right way as I understand. Nothing wrong with that.

    Stating firm temperature, horsepower, or power curve numbers is impossible since there are so many variables. I could say "My xxcc xxmm bore xx degree domes with a xx wide squish area in a Banshee with xx carbs and xx jets and +xx timing will run 20 degrees cooler on a 95 degree day when the barometric pressure is 29.90. It might sound really intelligent to someone (probably not) but it would be BS.

     

    The head I've been making for over ten years does cool the cylinders evenly and doesn't allow the coolant to just flow across the top of the domes. The combustion chambers need to be hot to function properly.

     

    Bling, cooling, good and fairly unlimited chamber design, and ease of changing the chamber are the strong points of a billet head. It's not even limited to billet heads. There has been, and will be more, cast heads that use interchangeable domes. Stay tuned.
