I am getting going to get ready to put a 2056 FI engine together for a daily driver. Trying to decide if the cost is worth the difference. Biral are supposed to run 20 % cooler. Porsche used them for a couple of years and moved on to coatings.

Good prices at AA.
Does anyone know them? If so could you ask them about doing Biral 103 mm cylinders? The head prices are ridiculous, not even worth doing a set of stock heads at those prices. Good to see this vendor. Rich |

Good to see this vendor. Rich Odd that there is no additional cost on the heads to have them relocate the spark plugs to the 2.0 location. How do the economics of that work? It seems like the welding and re-machining would add some cost. |
