TATTOO THREAD!!!

i didnt realise hemis were twin cam heads is all. would love to own one someday

[kk-kolonel]

surely you are joking?

Hemis have the spark plug in the centre of the head and the reason the head is so wide is because the combustion chamber is hemispherical in shape and the valves have to sit at very acute angles compared to the centre line of the bore and consequently need very wide heads so the valves stay within the confines of it..


hmmmm - why do I think you are joking and me explaining is pointless and I will get laughed at...

PS - here is a pic just to demonstrate (i've gone as far as explaining needlessly so showing you is not much worse..)
