Subject: Re: Heads
I wanted to increase the compression on my late modle 452 heads on a
less than 8.2 comp. 440. Those open chamber heads are about 88 cc- I
had a set of 516 closed chamber heads that measured close to 76cc.
With an .18 thous. head gasket, the formula says I will have a little
over 9.4 comp without changeing pistons.The 516 heads have a small
exhaust valve, so i am having larger exhaust valves with hardened
seats installed now. With that exhaust valve , it is said that my
heads will flow better than stock 452
heads......................................MO

Thats my opinion and experience. We dont have a drag strip close so we base on what we feel and go to the strip to verify when we get visiowave a chance
