Re: If 50 are good, what about 55?
A little birdie told me, believe it or not, that the night rider trans am had 55 degree seats. And we all know how fast that car was.

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.
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?

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.

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

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
Innovators West belt drive w/ under-driven alternator and e-water pump/e-fans only
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?
I'd put a 50 on that so fast you wouldn't even see me set up the tooling.
You asked if a 50 is good why not a 52? I answered that already in the other thread. I have seen very few heads that like a 55 N/A. If it has an intake port that is very high, it may take a 55 N/A.
So my answer is...50 on N/A stuff and 55 on anything with power adders except as noted above. Others may use a 55 more, but I've found what I've already posted. That's why I don't bother with 48 and 52* cutters. If it's N/A and likes the 52 it will probably do better with the 55

Personally if I had that head I would want to consult several people to find out first what top cut would best merge with that chamber and the from there I would look at the angles below that... It probably would require a 3rd head for testing and I don't mean the one in your pants.

Re: If 50 are good, what about 55?
I had to freshen up a set of heads on the strongest running circle track engine in its class. 034 Bowtie heads, heavily angle milled, 2.05” valves and it had 52* seats. This engine beat all others so it must prove 52* seats are better!

Re: If 50 are good, what about 55?
why not run a 30, 45, 60 valve job then get 3 different valves one with 30* , one with 45 and one with 60 you could run it on the same head with different levels of "sunkeness" and of course the diameters would be different. howz that for a test

Re: If 50 are good, what about 55?
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!

Re: If 50 are good, what about 55?
How bout a 4 valve per cyl head with one port with a 30 degree seat for low lift flow and one with a 55 degree seat optimised for high lift flow? Havent decided on the exh yet
