Alumnium heads -Thomas - Weiand
I like alumn heads....I run a Thomas on my RPU... and a Weiand (why and) on my closed cab.....The don't are (1) don't choke or you'll foul the plugs (2) don't use copper gasket...three different metals w/coff. of expand. (3) don't use stud and head bolts, use grade eight bolts ....also not good for parade driving
I like running alumn water pump, alumn fan and alumn gooseneck with them |

Re: Alumnium heads -Thomas - Weiand
NOstalgicford: Looks like you are running the same WEiand that I have on my babbitt bearing speedster. I also use the alum gooseneck with a Best gasket. I had to cut .025 off the top of the pistons to get them even with the deck because of the no flycut on the head. Runs great, no probs. I would only add for anyone interested in an alum head to use the sacrifical zinc strip in teh radiator that the suppliers have.
