Here are some more information for Cylinder Head Right:

There are probably thousands of self-taught backyard mechanics just like the late Burt Munro, who maybe work for years on inventions and projects that end up being unsuccessful and yield little in the way of financial reward, but does that really matter, some may argue that without financial reward you cannot move forward.

Sometimes the personal reward & self-satisfaction gained through

painstaking project success is a far greater reward than any financial

gain. Financial reward is often not the panacea of success that so many people are conditioned to accept today.

Think about the weeks, perhaps months of work that Burt Munro would

have spent making his own engine barrels, flywheels, pistons, cams and

followers and pressure lubrication systems, he also virtually hand-carved

his own con-rods from a section of Caterpillar tractor axle. He honed,

refined and perfected his old Indian motorcycle to an inch of its life in

preparation for the speed attempts, such was his focus & determination.

His quest and passion was to highly modify and improve his treasured

1920 Indian Scout Motorcycle to set land speed records...and his major

aim, to eventually see how fast it would go at the Utah Bonneville Salt

Flats during the annual speed week event in the USA. This was no mean

feat for a humble bloke who lived way down in South New Zealand in a

small place called Invercargill.

Can you imagine the fun he must have had working night & day in his little Workshop, making all of his special performance parts, building his engine, he certainly did things differently. For instance, it has been said that he used an old spoke for a micrometer to measure things, he sand-cast parts in old tins, one American report tells about how he cast some pistons in the sand at the local beach! He even built his own overhead four-cam cylinder head design to replace the standard two-cam system and converted the engine to overhead valves. What a practical

designer & innovator he was.

But do you want to know what the best part of all of this? It is still possible to do all of this, just like Burt Munro did all those years ago, as long as you have the skills. The technology is more readily available today than ever before, allowing the home hobby/mechanic to manufacture high quality special parts for old cars - motorcycles

and special custom projects.

With very basic workshop equipment Burt Munro was able to cast and produce pistons - conrods - cylinder barrels- alloy cooling fins - flywheels - oil pumps. An amazing talent from an amazing legend of a man. Would you like to learn about the special metal craft skills, and learn to make things similar to what Burt Munro did?

Which vacuum cleaner or carpet cleaner is right for you?

The January sales are offering some fantastic deals on vacuum cleaners and carpet washers at the moment, with many models at half price or less. No matter how good the deal, it’s important to research the machine on offer to make sure it’s right for your needs.

Vacuum cleaners

Whether you choose an upright or cylinder vacuum cleaner tends to come down to personal preference and which type you find the most comfortable and effective for you and your home. Uprights tend to be kinder to your back during vacuuming and have a rapidly rotating brushbar that grooms the pile while you push the machine across the carpet. Cylinders are often less effort to carry up and down stairs and are easy store away after use, due to their compact size.  Whichever you prefer, there are a number of factors you should think about when picking the right model:

• Pets
  If you have cats or dogs you’ll know just how difficult it can be to banish their hair from your carpets and furniture. Vacuum cleaners designed for homes with pets typically have a special tool with rotating bristles that pick up pet hair as it spins. Some pet models may also have an anti-bacterial filter to trap and neutralise germs. Look out for models with a HEPA filter if you have allergies, as these high level filters trap small dirt and dust particles, helping to reduce the allergens in your home.
• Stairs
  If you regularly vacuum a tall flight of stairs you’ll find a model with an extra long stretch hose a real bonus, as you can reach right to the top of the staircase without having to unplug the machine and move it halfway through cleaning. Check the length of the power cord too, as a longer cord will make it much easier to vacuum stairs and multiple rooms without having to stop to swap plug points, saving you both time and effort. The capacity of the dust container can also vary widely between models, so look for a larger one if you don’t like having to empty the container too often.
• Floor types
  If you have a mixture of carpets and hard floors in your home you should check the vacuum cleaner you choose is suitable for use on hard floors. Some uprights have a brushbar control so you can switch off the rotating brushes and vacuum hard floors without risk of damage. Some have a hard floor tool that you attach to the hose for doing the same job. Many cylinder vacuum cleaners have a combination floor head that has a switch for changing between hard floor and carpet modes, and some models may have a dedicated hard floor tool.

Carpet cleaners

There are typically two types of carpet cleaners you can choose from – canister models, some of which are multi-functional and can also dry vacuum, and upright models. Canister models tend to be robust with large capacity tanks. They usually have castor wheels, so they are very stable and easy to pull along as you clean. Upright models resemble an upright dry vacuum cleaner and are typically manoeuvrable and easy to use.

• Upholstery and stairs
  Many carpet washers have a flexible hose and tools for cleaning upholstery and stairs, but do check the product specification carefully, as some upright models don’t have a hose and so are only suitable for cleaning flat areas of carpets. Canister models operate much like a cylinder vacuum cleaner, with a selection of tools that attach to the hose for cleaning carpets, upholstery and stairs.
• Spots and stains
  If your carpets have areas with a lot of wear and tear, or have stubborn spots and stains, it’s worth investing in a model that is specifically designed to tackle these problems, so check the specification carefully. Upright models with brushes that gently scrub the carpet fibres, either on a rotating brushbar or on individual spinning brushes, will tend to give a deeper clean and better results than those with a static row of brushes. Some carpet cleaners have a pre-treatment system with special stain-busting solution that gets to work on soiled areas before washing with the machine.
• Quick clean, quick dry
  If you want the quickest results from your carpet cleaner and need your carpets dry again as soon as possible, look out for models with technologies designed to speed up the washing and drying processes. These could include heated cleaning, where heat from the machine is applied to the carpet during washing, and dual air path technology, which delivers consistent suction across the entire width of the floor head.

right cylinder head wrong size for block?!?

i have a 1983 dodge ram b150 van. 2 months ago i bought a head for it, i had a large problem tracking it down but i did, when i got the head back on today it fit, all the holes were in the right place, etc, but on the spark plug side theres kind of an over bite, or well underbite, the edge were my old head fit on is petruding someone, now thew new head fits but its end doesnt reach that far, it reachs far enough to cover some of this ledge but not completely. can i still use this? is there a enough catch room surface to put my head gasket on there with? and everything else lines up fine..
my neightbor thought maybe it was the wrong head because i got a carb, everything loox the same to me except for the shape of the spark plug bays and below. if its the wrong head how do i know even with the screws and etc matching up?

It's obviously not an exact replacement to the old head that may not be a problem.
Match it up with the correct head gasket and you should be able to tell if the head will work - all of the coolant and cylinder holes should match and you should have sufficient area around these holes to assure a good seal. Compare the combustion chambers and so fourth and if everything looks good - put 'er on.
