QUOTE That said, converting a 1.7 or AMC head to 2L really isn't that hard for a good cylinder head shop to do. In this digital age we live in, that statement couldn't be more true. But, alas! The devil is in the details! 90+% of the work that is important to reliability is not performed by the job shop CNC, at least not yet. And a significant % of the performance details are also not performed on the CNC. The cat that knows his stuff is still worth the extra $. Whoever you are, all I have to say on the matter is: Copy away! If you survive the wrath of Jake for the 6 months or so that the copied version is a current representation of our work, you will soon enough be producing an out of date design. Though the tweaking is subtle, for the most part, at this point of our T4 development, it is constant. Rust never sleeps, and neither does Jake! |

No sooner than Jake and Len come out with a new head design they are all ready working on a new design that mades the old one out dated. Keep up the good work Len. |
