Valvebouncer 2,389 Posted August 30, 2018 The heads are interchangeable left and right, what are your plans for this engi? They are but some have the front drilled and tapped for accessories to be bolted on or the emissions exhaust port at the back ( older heads ). 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just support under the valve with some soft timber ( pallets are good for this ) 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SPArKy_Dave 8,894 Posted August 30, 2018 Thermactor Air Injection... Basically dilutes the exhaust gasses with compressed air, via the vacuum pump. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerg 10,871 Posted August 30, 2018 Thermactor Air Injection... Basically dilutes the exhaust gasses with compressed air, via the vacuum pump.And gives the cats some oxygen to burn up the remaining HC in the exhaust. Fuel injection can run lean enough to not need air injection, not so with carbys. Sent from my CPH1607 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
