Re: Dual Overhead Cam Flathead
along the row of valves, since the valves open the other way (up for open, down for closed), are they opened by spring pressure and closed by the cam
Actually the opposite, The valves are opened up by the cam and closed by the spring pressure. The big advantage of this type of a cylinder head is airflow. It increases the performance of the Flathead which is limited by its original design. Remember also that the old valve pockets in the block will have to be sealed up for this to work. |

Re: Dual Overhead Cam Flathead
It might be an interesting engine to some or maybe even many but to me it is no longer a flathead and therefore I am not interested. I am not bashing so please nobody get upset … just expressing my opinion.

Re: Dual Overhead Cam Flathead
That's how I look at it as well, cool technology, but no longer a flathead.

Pent roof" chamber which allows for a 'Squish" ares for increased compression. Probably the most famous engine of this type was the 4cy Offy that dominated Indy for decades. |

FWIW, the Ford flathead engine has its combustion chamber in the head, too. The location of the combustion chamber isn't what determines whether or not an engine is considered a "flathead".
