Hi what's people's best opinion and results with different 1.6 cvh heads don't no if to go for another burton stage 3 head or not or if there are better ones

 

Sure Karlos G spoke very highly of a NMS head.

 

Don't bother with burton. Get CNC ported polished head using standard valves.
Choose from
Rick wood
Cylinder head developments
Vulcan

 

Ok cool can you still get good power with standard valves ?

 

I rated my Cylinder Head Developments big valve head. Really livened the engine up top end

 

When I got my Escort RST it came with a Vulcan Maxiflow head in with a power engineering spec 285T2 cam which drove fantastic


When I had the engine built for my Fiesta RST Vulcan built it and again had a Maxiflow head but decided on the Kent Ahmed Bayjoo cam which made the car much more driveable, not as much on the top end power but it had much more usable power

 

Standard valves over 350bhp.

Mines ported and polished
Andy at cylinder head developments does my heads usually. Good price and flow. In a turbo big valves can cause more trouble than help. Gas speed // flow etc. On a n/a engine like my pinto yes big valves are a must

 

Good point. Mine was N/A hence the big valves

 

Ok so if am going for 350 + I need to use standard valve size

 

Just get it ported and polished. And get manifolds flow matched.

 

I already have a burton stage 3 head but just working out if I need to go back and start again

 

Rick wood is a good friend of mine , bis stuff is by far the best I've seen

 

Have you got his contact details

 

Speak to Simon at Sitech racing, he done my brothers head on his zvh it made 375bhp on the rollers with more to go but we got a misfire so capped it at 335 till we get some new parts.
He also done another head on a black s2 with a zvh I'm sure it made 500 or just under

 

Ok thanks lads

 

CNC

 

NMS in my opinion buddy

Cheers Paul

 

376Bhp Steven on first run. Every little helps

 

NMS have the biggest power CVH's in the country so I would choose them, Karl Norris' experience and knowledge is second to none when it comes to the CVH.
No bashing anyone else of course, that's just who I use.
