superstock hemi heads

SPS · 11-24-2012, 09:12 AM

I really don't know why anybody would argue this with Charlie. He likely knows and has seen more of whats going on than anybody.

Besides, as he said, this rule has been in the book and accepted for ever. A lot older than 1991.

It also affects all other engines (Chevys for sure) too.

As Charlie said, "where do you stop milling??" at the valve guide??

The cylinder head guys (the majority) have honoured this rule to date, so it is what it is.

FJ, that is why the first call I made regarding this subject was to confirm that NHRA told John Gulius this was not allowed on a sbc…

Intake side of head may not be cut into ANY PART of valve cover bolt holes

Maybe "Any" means valve cover rail…(sarcasm)

I hope I'm wrong as I'll have 5 sets of heads I can use on my SS/DA and AH car and not have to spend money as I planned to do having a new set done to legal specs with the valve cover bolt un-exposed. The 5 sets are much, much better than the legal set on the SS/DA car right now.

But this fight is really between the two major Hemi Builders. I'm just in search of the truth as I like to push the rules right to the limit but not over...

Man, you can over-complicate this.

Best you look up the dimensions of a bolt, any bolt. It is the major diameter of the bolt (or threaded hole) that you can't cut into.

Yes, this started with the hemi heads, but it affects everybody. The Chevy heads are right there as far as being cut.....have been for years.

Simple rule .

I just don't get what is so hard to understand here.

FJ, you just contradicted yourself with your two posts.

I was being sarcastic with my question as to what ANY PART means!

Alot of people don't understand whats really going on here. Next week after gainesville you may understand why Pizza Joe started this thread. And it wasn't on my behalf.
