My engine is at the shop, and I'd like some advice about ancillaries. My goal is a largely stock, or period available, with adequate power for touring, and good driveability. I have a Mk 1A, whose or

Hi Dave, Jeez--At least replace those tired old heads. There are some aftermarket iron ones around, or you can paint the aluminum ones. Aluminum heads give power & actually can run w/out knocking on

Are the original iron heads you're planning to keep, the 260 ones? You should be careful (CC the heads) to not end up with an unworkable high compression ratio. Either 260 or 289 heads will have 1.67

A partial reply to your questions. Do not forget to pay attention to the cooling system. It isn't adequate for the 260, much less a modified 289. Easy reference: http://www.tigersunited.com/techtips

I would argue that changing to a low-inertia flywheel is an easy, safe, and relatively inexpensive way to improve the acceleration performance of the Tiger. Also, since it's inside the bellhousing, t

Sorry for the late comment. With aluminum heads, polishing and painting really negates much of the performance valve of the material. For higher compression aluminum heads should not be painted or po

Painting aluminum with a black flat paint will change the emissivity and help with convective heat transfer. High performance air-cooled engines in aircraft and motorcycles have used this technique f

If Car Craft ran the same compression in both engines, there should be no HP difference between the iron and alum heads... but the thing is, if all else is identicle, you can run higher compression w

I'll weigh in with my $0.02. It's not really the compression ratio that's fundamentally related to horsepower, but absolute compression. For example, I think it's obvious that super/turbo charged mot
