Title: Is this going to cause me trouble down the road?
Post by: 70's Looker on April 24, 2015, 08:18:58 PM

Hey everyone, I got a set of neat heads they would appear to be cut for 92s, as I'm planning to run 88s I put an empty jug into the head to look and it appears the head work is bigger then the cylinder, is this okay or do I have to rethink (https://airspeedparts.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi786.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fyy145%2Font58%2Fcar%2520parts%2FC39FB45F-81E5-4D79-9444-A6FD300F3DA9.jpg&hash=fa691bf4129522e8f3aaeed21c158019e9d77d9e)

New heads or bigger bore.  What you have isn't going to work.  You need all the contact area you can get between the top of the cylinder and the head to ensure a good seal.
