Subject: Re: Engine swap on the C1 by jsup on 2008/11/14 21:35:36 Those C1s are pretty cars. I think you'll notice a big difference.. Good luck As for the complaints on the heads, did you mention it to Dart? If so, what did they say? They are pretty active on their own forum, perhaps you should post your disappointment there and see how they handle it. Give them a shot to fix it before throwing them down the stairs. I still for the life of me don't understand why people get so wrapped up in flow numbers. We've seen first hand how one forum member put great flowing heads on top of the wrong rings and will likely wind up pulling the motor and rebuilding it. To worry about flow numbers in a vacuum and at the expense of everything else, is kinda silly. Just saying I simply don't get the fascination with this statistic as anything significantly relevant above and beyond all other aspects of the engine components. Now, if it's an issue of getting what you pay for, I completely agree, they should provide what you paid for. I will say, that in many industries, boat motors for example are +/- 10% of stated power, I don't know if these parts have such an industry accepted tolerance. Next time someone brags about their heads flowing more than stated numbers, I'll point out they are a POS and out of stated spec.....  For the record, I didn't bother wasting my time or money flowing my heads as I don't care. I can tell you exactly what piston, rings, cyl wall finish, etc... |
