check out my cyl head

[JasonC]

The 731 head is the head on 323i e30's.

hmmmm i think i will email metric mechanic or call them to see if they have any ideas on it.

btw, what is the stock "i " intake and exhaust valve sizes?
i am somehow going to get ahold of the Po to see what exactly is up with my motor as far as what has been done or put in it.....for sure!

thanks BTW jason!

not unless you like piston and head colisions

you're thinking of the 323i head and eta block

+1 your right my mistake sorry

i talked to metric mechanic and i guess these were converted 323 heads with "i" intake and exhaust valves. that explains the wierd machining behind the intake valve seats into the port without the rest of the port being blended.

i am going to look for another head to do up, have welded, and replace it.

then maybe clean up and blend the ports of the other one and sell it.

how big of a deal is it to weld the head when you are boosting it?

Not much work, but worth the effort.

yea, but i would rather start with an i head and go from there with it, because it already has bigger ports and i have no idea how thick the runner walls are on this mystery head or what is left after machining the area behind the valve seat to match the port.

after i clean this one up i would make a great ETA head for a 2.7 stroker. just not what i want to start with if i am going to go through the effort.
