The making of a cylinder head
I 'm making a cylinder head for my hill climb car. This is the start, so far mounting holes and push rod holes. If there is any interest will post pictures as we move along with the head.

Re: The making of a cylinder head
Without casting, you need two pieces to enable the milling of the water jackets, then put the two halves together. ------------------------------------------------------------ ----
Russ has got it right. When the milling is all done I will take it apart and mill the water jacket. |

Would this work on a "driver" and approx cost if making more than one? Paul in CT |

Re: The making of a cylinder head
George;
I have seen another head built the same way, the one with the Ardun valve cover. What grade AL are you using, how are sealing the to half's, " O " ring spaghetti ? The Ardun cover thing has right angle ports and wasn't a crossflow, what is your set-up? Thanks, Dudley |

Re: The making of a cylinder head
Dudley, there is a man named Norm Frick out of Colorado that has been making heads using the same concept for a couple of decades. I first became aquainted with Norm about 15 years ago when he built heads for some Hudsons on the GreatRace. At that time he was charging $100 a cyl. hole to make them and would make it for anything that was a flathead. They worked great. Norm also manufactured 2p & 4p Rileys, the Model A/B Ardun head, single stick & dual stick McDowells, and other OHVs. What George is making will be just as awesome I feel sure!!
Muddying up the waters just a bit with what George is doing, I have one of John Lingo's OHV that he hand-made by welding together steel plating into a. OHV head. It runs awesome. Below is a picture of it when I was racing it in my track roadster. . |
