Ok chaps ive been having a tidy up in the garage and found this head i forgot i had

Could anyone identify cam ect cheers

 

Piper 285t2 looks a nice head that

 

does that have bigger valves aswell?

 

valves look standard to me

 

Defo piper cam, got one myself and i think the valves look standard

 

as above standard valves but a piper 285 t2 i ran one of these cams a few years back personally i prefered that 285t had some work on the ports tho from what i can see

 

Yup as above Piper 285T2 and yes the 285T is the better cam IMO too, not as laggy as the T2, port work doesnt look great TBH the guides have not been flushed to the port walls which is essential for increasing flow and from what I can see very little has been done to the exhaust side, looks like standard valve sizes but inlets look SS maybe?

Take a peek at this thread for plenty of pics of head work! https://passionford.com/forum/ford-e...strictive.html

 

A tidy up ,never

 

Cheers guys i got it with a block aswell will get some pics when i pick it up from my mums.

So in general its worth keeping as a spare? From memory the chap i got it from said it had just had a new cam and valves.

Its true Dave i can move again

 

Ok chaps ive now got the block at mine and took some pics any info you could help me with would be great

Looks like its got ARP bolts and Accralite pistons they have 1138xc81 and 12274 on the bottom of them not got a clue about the rest pics below

 

Yeah ARP bolts and i'd say 81mm Pistons, look very low comp with the dish in the middle too!

 

Cheers Karlos is 81mm standard size? not got a clue about this stuff

 

Those inlet valves look bigger to me. If so, it'd be worth trying.

 

P.S. 80mm is standard piston size.

 

 

looks like number 1 is odd?

edit
Sorry number 4

 

I thought that, but if you look closely its the same, like karlos said the inlet valves look like stainless items, they also look bigger (like Christian said), and anyway i dont think you can get stainless valves in the origional size? The head also doesn't have bronze valve guides which i would expect it to have if it was ported by a known company, saying that though the general inlet port shape (compared with pictures of decent heads etc) don't look too bad.....

Rob,

 

Worth trying what mate

Cheers

It does look different but its just the crap on it.

Cheers Rob can i just measure the valves? will get a pic tomorrow

 

I mean it would be worth running. My head had larger Inlet valves and Exhaust valves, but in retrospect, I'd have liked to try a head with just larger Inlets.

 

I see. Here is a pic of the inlet valve any help

 

Think 42mm is standard size mate

 

Actually I'm sure standard valves are 42mm

 

Bring it all round here, we'll give it a freshen up and chuck it in the Onion!

 

Not sure on standard valve sizes, i can have a measure tomorrow for you, have you got any vernier calipers?

Also i don't think you are measuring the true diameter, your tape measure needs to move up a bit so you could have 43mm valves.......

Rob,

 

Good idea Gadge but the onion will be going soon

Cheers Rob
Not got any vernier calipers will check the measurements again tomorrow to make sure

 

No worries mate, even a metal ruler would be better, just swivel the ruler around until you have a maximum figure, thats your true diameter.

Rob,

 

Nearly done fucking around so will have a measure for you,

Rob,

 

Here you go mate,



42mm it is

And the exhaust (just because it was there)



Rob,

 

Nice one Rob not had a chance to check today will do it tomorrow
