Oh Oh they're to make another Geico commercial.

Thanks for the serious and coherent reply, Gary. When money and championship points are on the line to get to work on time.. every little bit counts!GARY C wrote: ↑Fri Jun 08, 2018 4:04 pmI would say from the picture of the chamber you would be starting with potential you bon't get in SBC or LS engines unless you go outside the norm.groberts101 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 08, 2018 3:34 pmThe delusionally twisted part of me wants to believe you.. but that laughing emoji has me concerned you may not be serious.
Sadly the people familiar with this type of situation will not post anything helpful to you, I personally would call Darin Morgan and offer to pay him for consultation, he may not accept your money but he would shoot you straight on chamber shape and if he had any experience with the head, If not he probably could direct you to who does.groberts101 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 08, 2018 4:42 pmThanks for the serious and coherent reply, Gary.

The other thing I consider(based on my smaller window of understanding on this subject) as being a better matchup to potentially utilizing steeper seats with these particular heads.. is the fact that the flatter/revised valve angles stands up the valves to give a higher apex and better overall shape to the SSR. So, wouldn't.. or at least couldn't.. one consider that to be another important factor/s in making the jump over towards steeper seat profiles/bigger choke size work well on this type of cylinder head?
IOW's.. the higher intake port entry point along with short turn height/shape improvements, rotated valves angles allowing straighter port, and better chamber design.. then allows the steeper seat profiles to up the airflow and port velocity ante without as many shortcomings?
groberts101 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 08, 2018 3:28 pmLOL.. at my age I barely have enough balls left under me to use 50's on my current street project.. let alone 55's!
OTOH, it's only time and money and barring some tragic disease or life altering event, at least I can gain one of those back later on. So, I'll counter that offer with.. what about 52's over 50's? Still doable or any specific advantage for an occasional play toy type street/strip car seeing maybe 2-3K miles/year with rare occasions for work transportation?
8.2" deck 310 SBF(3"x4.060") around 11.6:1 SCR with ton's-o-tricks that low budget guys like me aren't supposed to know, worry, or really care about
Hand ported, angle milled, high-ported(flange plated) Trick Flow 170cc 11R cnc heads w/ 11°/13°(ending up somewhere around 10.xx/12.xx I/E valve angles after angle mill), custom 2.02"/1.54" hollow stemmed tulip shaped valves, and relatively shallow clover style 48cc chambers(53cc stock)
Chopped up and plated 351W Edelbrock Airgap with welded fully divided plenum spacer, not sure on carb size(650-750 Holley) but E85 converted
Mike Jones Hydro Roller 274/279(224/229 @.050)/.612"/.578"(.340" lobe running 1.8/1.7 rockers) w/ NOS Morel .904" solid rollers underneath Conical springs and Ti retainers

You know.. just your bare bones basic lightweight street car kinda deal.
Only ordered them last night but here's a stock unmilled 53cc chamber pic to give reference for valve seat design input. And that spark plug looks like it's gonna be pretty tight after a bit of heavier milling.

Any input towards acceptable valve seat designs/valve profiles on this particular head and application?
You started out so good in this thread, and then had to done did that. So, no one in this thread, or "the other" thread are qualified to say?

I would think if you had any cylinder head experience you would be experienced to say...

I want that on each valve and each seat, three angles of seating contact so it has three times the seat, and three times the seat flow! Low lift, mid lift and high lift!
You could get Schick to build you a 3 Blade valve for that really smooth close flow!Keith Morganstein wrote: ↑Fri Jun 08, 2018 9:16 pmI want that on each valve and each seat, three angles of seating contact so it has three times the seat, and three times the seat flow!
