Another first gen 4AG head, this one is a bit Nasty....

Btw, here is a photo showing the difference between a 1st gen TVIS head, and a 2nd gen TVIS head. A first gen is what came on the AE86, the 2nd gen is later

So, getting back to OST-056, the head is stripped, cleaned(?), and pressure checked. Once back, I deburr the casting

more to come...... Hurray!

I have to wonder if Toyota had the MR / FWD mounting in mind when they (or Yamaha) designed the 4A-GE. I have one each of the big port heads and noticed this difference.

I've yet to see a Toyota application that uses that mount...........






Work on the head proceeds.....



"Building" the intake side - blending the seat, bowl, and port Wink

I believe best practice is to match the top of the exhaust port with the header gasket [highest flow area] and leave the step mis-match at the bottom of the port for anti-reversion?

OK, here are some better pics. I had pulled all of the timing covers for my (someday, someday, someday) engine build, along with that small "cam bracket."

^ Bracket looks smooth in parts because I've been taking off the casting lines & imperfections, so that I can get it powder coated along with other parts.

good lesson(for everyone)... even if you think you know it all....... you don't

There isn't much to work with... most of my improvements take place inside... but on some heads..... that is why I worked with SV2 to help design the copper exhaust gasket - http://www.sv3power.com/store/index.php?...cts_id=217

Not only is it bigger, but part of the design was moving the bolts holes down (or exhaust ports up) by .020"

How it looks/fits....

But this head isn't going to see that much exhaust port work....



more to come.... Hurray!

ahh, I'm sorry I thought the ports being upside down was obvious... my apologies....



back from the machine shop wearing a new 3 angle, and back cut intake valves....

[Image: AEU86 AE86 - OST-056: Nasty.....]



next, checking chamber volumes...

[Image: AEU86 AE86 - OST-056: Nasty.....]





So if I want chambers down to 36cc, how much should I have machined from the head???



more to come.... Hurray!

It's very late so my math might be off but I think about 1.5 thou (inches) sounds wrong but that's all I can come up with right now. I'm rusty with my numbers and a bit tipsy.

well, about .008" is about 1cc(+ or -), so @ .6cc over, that would be about .005"

[Image: AEU86 AE86 - OST-056: Nasty.....]


and that's how much I had it machined.....
