What head is this?
Can anyone tell me about this?
It appears to be a 5.2:1 head but it does not have a "B" cast into it. |

Re: What head is this?
Looks like a police head, wonder why it isn't marked with a "B" See info.

Aftermarket head more than likely. But still Hi compression.

Re: What head is this?
Most likely the head listed as "F2 MF" on the spreadsheet list. Copy of a Ford 5.2 A-6050-B police head.

*measured compression test pressure divided by 14.7 = compression ratio.So the "standard" psi of say 62 psi would be 62/14.7 = 4.22 (round to 4.2). And a 5.2 head would be around 75 psi on a compression test. JayJay

Re: What head is this?
I agree completely. I'm not suggesting to use it, but it's simple and what a lot of folks can relate to easily. That method doesn't account for the difference between absolute (the 14.7) and gauge (what you measure) pressures, for example.
And the 14.7 only applies at sea level. JayJay

Re: What head is this?
So after leaving the head in a rust911 solution for a day and cleaning off I think I know why it was sitting on the shelf. It has cracks across the top of the head and I don't trust it enough to try it out.

Re: What head is this?
Looks like freeze cracks to me. If there is no other cracks I would solder them up and give it a try.

Re: What head is this?
I thought about grinding out the cracks a little and using some JB but I'm worried about the crack near the #2 spark plug especially with the higher compression.

Re: What head is this?
5.2? How about a Winfield red head? 7.5 to 1…she’ll pull your hat clean off your head.

All in all, a lot of variables. That many degrees of freedom makes the engineer in me cringe. Having said all that, it's an attractively simple formula. And it's at least qualitatively correct - compression ratio and cylinder pressure do co-vary. I think you, Y-B and I all violently agree. JayJay
