Head Machining

[Eugene7]

I'm in need of some serious help here!

I have in my garage (on loan) the last of the Vegantune Twincam heads in full machined form (but not 'worked' for flow, etc), never used...

I also have some brand new raw castings for the same head un-machined form, but in a better alloy mix.

The diagrams for the machining worek have been lost when VeganTune folded, so the new owners don't have them...

So, I need to get the data reverse engineered from the machined head onto the new raw castings!

Any ideas as to who can do this?

Surely - most of this would have been 'by eye' and experience..

Call someone like Ian Richardson at Wildcat Eng. who has his own heads cast and machines them..

You cold ask Guy Croft, at Guy Croft Race Engines, he seems switched on with head porting. Or post on his forum ?

Any machine shop with the correct measurement equipment and *lots* of time...

Seriously don't under estimate the scale of the task at hand. To truely check a cylinder head drawing properly can take days. To take the measurements off a head and actually draw it is going to take a long time, 3-4 weeks.
