Hi Frederic,

The old heads will be going back to Kirby at Vee Twin to swap for the ones he sent me.

One tip if you do it this way is to bring the piston to TDC, and smear some grease between the cylinder and the piston to prevent any debris getting down to the rings. When you bring the piston down again, any leftover crap is stuck in the grease at the top of the cylinder.



neat job adm

@robby
This caught my eye! I have a very similar build using the f.reaper 574 cam. Dude, your right. Look at the info/specs on the cam. Get that thing near 10:1 to 10:5:1 comp in a 103/106/107 build man. You will be very happy w/ that cam + heads. Heads look good. You will never run out of cam and 574 pulls hard 2600rpm to past redline.
My FXDWG put out 119hp 124tq all legit, no corrections. Tuned by GMS Racing Engines outside Pittsburgh PA.
-Full Headwork
-574 reaper w/ 6061 plate HP+oil pump
-HPI T.Body
-SS 106 kit w/ 10:1 comp
-Power Vision 2
-PM Intake
-V/H equal length 2 into 1 Comp Series
-Some other little tricks.

*You can see are builds, kinda close. The 574 is a GREAT CAM. Most ppl don't use or never heard of it cuz it don't say SS, Andrews, Woods or SE on it. If u want to see my DYNO sheet or some slips no problem. IMHO you will dig it on ur Dyna. Enjoy!

couldnt agree more - I have a 574 and a 106 kit without headwork (10:1) and the thing screams... I couldn't imagine what it would be like if I got them done!

@iDodgimus
Yeah, the 574 is great with 106 or 107 kit from SS or Revolution Perf. Yo man, I bet your Bassani sounds f'n insane w/ that set up. Nothing beats a good 2-1 pipe. Big Bassani fan. My cousins xl1200n (Nightster) idles like a top fuel drag bike w/ the Road Rage and big cam.
PS @Robby did u get my private response. SS has tunes you can steal. My base map is long gone.

it certainly does... i switched to a B1 after I got rear ended last year and it's even better, much lower note... doesn't snarl as much letting off the throttle but the deep pop when it fires up makes me giggle every time
