I have never tried to move the pushrod holes over. I've always found the OEM rockers to do the job intended
even with the high RPMs, extra spring pressure and boost that I run. I also feel that steel or iron rockers are superior and durable to aluminum for anything other than extreme (10,000+) RPM. I have enlarged the holes on some heads to used the larger Dodge pushrods and not had a problem for what was need to stop rubbing.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.

Thanks Paul, I appreciate the response.
Is there enough material to move the pushrod hole over? I understand about the valve springs RPM.s and not needing any of this stuff. The tractor I am working on is not a cream puff, it never will be. Someone with a blow torch loved to use it. Although he did blow a hole through the torque tube to mount a Mopar starter, he used the torch to drill holes, trim small things, make a Frankenstein bracket for the alternator. I have removed some of his handy work. But understand that I am not beating up this tractor anything close to what the torch guy did. I have the time and "some" knowledge to work on this valve trane IF it's possible to move the pushrod holes over without breaking through a water jacket. I was going to just throw the head back on and go but the more I look at the cylinder liners the worse they seem to get..... " border=""> |

Ryan: It may not be necessary for you, with out turning much speed, although the added spring pressure may require stronger pushrods. I use Dodge 225 slat 6 ones that I shorten just a tad. After that I've never bent anymore. The stock pushrods will bend just because sometimes. They were not designed to run at the speeds I'm running or with the boost pressure. With anything, after you go beyond the design tolerance you will find the first weak link. After upgrading that, you will find the next weak link. This is what us tractor pullers are constantly doing.

And it would. If you had a front engine plate, it could mount on there backwards so the cap faces the engine & wires would be where they should be. The belt would be in front and be driven off the crank. The governor would still control the carburetor arm. Just put a block-off plate on the back side to keep oil in.
Looking at the mag off this tractor it doesn't have any advance/retard either so this wouldn't be any different. Set it at what? 20 degrees crankshaft? For stock governor. |

That magneto would work on any 4-cylinder and V8 engines as well. Vertex makes a cap for dual-plug 4-cylinder heads. On a V8 the second wire would connect to a cylinder on the exhaust stroke. So 1-4-6-7 fire on the compression stroke and 8-3-5-2 fir on the exhaust stroke for that 720 degrees. Crank trigger ignitions use (or can use) 4 coils with dual plug wires coming out. As far as the crank trigger is concerned it's bolted to a 4-cylinder engine.
This is the kind of information that is universal. |

If you are thinking the pictures are taking up band width you are wrong.
They are simply linked to my photobucket account. They can go away as
quickly as they appeared.
As my cylinder head work progresses I will clear the motorcycle pics. Parts should have arrived Monday but YT said they are behind getting orders out. Head has been in the shop waiting..... This was my daily rider, 2010 FXDWG bought new. Had to sell when I retired. " border=""> |

Apparently this topic has become "look at my foreign motorbikes" instead of "B cylinder head performance"

With a blue cap? It's a Vertex magneto. It's off a Kawasaki KZ1000 drag bike.

I bought these 1.73, 7/16 stud Lunati's 19 years ago and would like to attempt to use them if at all possible. From the center of the push-rod to the center of the valve stem roller that are 1" shorter in length that the stock stamped steel & spot welded arms.

One thing I did "open up" was the "Y" split area where the intake runners divide. I decided not to build-up the back-side wall of this split port with epoxy as described by a knowledgeable and highly respected person on this forum. I had to remind myself that I'm not going for the level of performance that his engine is built.

I may retake these pictures with a different camera/lens. It's difficult to show the bowl porting. I spent a leisure 6 hours smoothing and blending the bowls to the runners. Not necessarily for performance because this engine has had water in it over a long periods of time. The piston domes of 1 and 2 are extremely bad and all of the sleeves will note hone out (pitting) Anyway I basically blended all the exhaust bowls and runners to match. I did a little at a time. After I removed so much on the 1st bad port, I would move to the next and so on until they were all equal (feeling with my calibrated index finger).

Thanks Paul, I wasn't sure why that tray was used.
Shop finally called to say my cylinder head was finished. They media-blasted it first, installed the guides I supplied, installed hardened exhaust seats, cut the valve seat angles on a Serti machine. Lastly they milled the surface of the head .150. " border=""> Edited by Ryan59 - 23 Jun 2016 at 8:49pm |

The "tray" was used to keep oil away from the valve guides before stem seals were generally accepted.
If you're not looking for added performance for pulling, what is the need for the trick parts, porting and taking .150" off of the surface?
Many of these engines have run for many decades in factory form and most will out live many of use just as they were built.
