Which head to use? 1800

posted by  someone claiming to be B20Paul on  Wed Oct 31 22:31 CST 2007 [RELATED]

The thing is, with standard valves, you still have an average head, & if you combine 44mm intakes with exhaust inserts, you are guaranteed to end up with a cracked head in the medium term. Either way you do it, you've still got a sucky average head compared to any B20 head.

I know it irks some people to fit a head that has a combustion chamber that's bigger than the bores, but standard B20 & B21's are like that standard.
