thanks Dwayne ,
the source heads were what I could afford at the time and met my needs . They did run 6 plus years .
These Tf heads are costing me $3800 plus any 10% tax , so down here we do have to budget some items
with the bigger motor well I can now afford a better cyl head . I am not a number chaser , just a street driving bracket racer .
Are you of the opinion the fel1009 are just not good enough ? They list as same bore size and thickness

Keep your eyes open for a 10% off coupon when you buy something big like that. I will be attending a 3 day 20,000.00 race next weekend and I'm betting some will be floating around so I will keep my eyes open. A member in the gereral section just gave me one and I ordered slicks today. He gave them all out but one of use will pick up another batch soon.

I reused mine 3 times on my 15-1 572. Never had any issue. Sprung for new ones 4th time around.

hey John
I used my Summit proshop account , seems around 10% off normally .
Summit have been good and they throw some sponsorship down here .

Doug ,
always a bit leery about reusing gaskets .

Hope to see heads end of next week . Should be a step up from the source ones

Just for an example on my slicks today. Pro Shop savings was 34.00 but a 10% off coupon came to 61 dollars. not a big savings but 27.00 is 27.00 in my World. That's almost half of my 60.00 entry into Saturdays race. What was really nice was they gave me 20.00 worth of Summit Bucks on one of my past orders. Thank you Summit Racing.

Here is a pic down 1 port
Over half inch long

That’s an easy fix there just by tubing the head bolt with K&S brass tubing and JB weld. But the water isn’t coming from there

After buying a 1009 Fel set, and .051 and .040 Cometic sets that cost over $800 Aussie Im bleeding from the rectum and will be re using these Cometics next time, they are fine second hand.

aint this the case . 1009 are $160 pair here Cometics are twice this, have a spare set 0.027 cometics but wont work this motor .
Will not reuse this pair as going different heads

tex you can get them impregnated with a coating resin it works on the indy junk that does the same

Ian ,
What is the resin?
When the dust settles may look at reoair and sell these heads . Worth looking at

Tex

Thanks Ian
