2 questions??

Ya'll ever seen or ran one of these heads? I'll give it a try unless someone curb checks me.

I've seen a few pop up for sale over the years, so there's a few out there, but I haven't heard much about them.

 

[air blair]

Right on. Cooling directly from pump to head. A little different setup than traditional

Need some fittings for head but I guess I'll be running it.

that cylinder cleaned up nice!

 

[tor*p*do]

digglo fabulous!

 

[air blair]

Tossed some fittings on this head, ran what I thaught would work but the thing is my cylinder and head are pretty damn cold when running. Lots of thaughts running here.

Can't just use restrictors to bring the temp up?

That's my next step. Restrict it. Need some stick on cylinder temp gauges.

I've used a cheap laser temp gun with good success believe it or not.. But temp strips are nice too.

What's the ideal temp for cylinder?

[BruceSki]

At least brapty degrees.

Lol, where's master Blaster when you need him...... I'm sure he could give a 30min dissertation on the theoretical ideal temp.

I never gave two poops for hoe warm or cold my engine was. I always just hooked up dual cooling and ran it but this is one ice cold running setup. I imagine you can dial in the ideal heat range. Hell I just want it to act like an Ada plug and play. I'll just restrict some poop and run an ice cold head as long as I can get the cylinder to that temp that is ideal.

So why do you think you have to run the lines from the pump to the head and not the manifold?

 

[air blair]

One pump line goes to manifold and exits out of both cylinder pissers on top of head seperatly from the head cooling which enters on pto side labeled in and out stator side which I loop under and into bottom of headpipe. I'm going to run smaller barbs off top of head. See how that goes.

So the head has two separate cooling jacket parts? Maybe you only run the dedicated head cooling in the summer? Seems strange, but I can't see the pictures right now at work. Probably linked from facebook...

 

[air blair]

Ya kinda weird head. You know you push sand through your pump cooling at times. This will push it right around the domes and what not so restrictors need to be big enough for sand to exit with enough flow also. Maybe I'm thinking to much about it. Cold seizure comes to mind on cylinders if not ideal temp is not met. I was tuning my carburetor with hood off riding and wasn't sure if I was getting a proper read on tuning as it warmed up and cooled down so quick. My water temp is getting cold here in the lake apx. 50*f

I bet the theory behind that head is to running the cylinders warmer so you don't get seizures, but run the domes as cold as you can to avoid or reduce detonation with higher compression.

 

[air blair]

Agree
