Lc head

[neil100]

Hello!
Has anyone tried a lc head & are they any good? From my own experience & from talking to people in the know most of the heat in a 2smoke is around the exhaust port so is an lc pointless for a touring motor?
Cheers Neil

A LC head is good if you want to raise the compression ratio to silly levels like 15 or 16 to 1
but you will need a very strong big end bearing

if you raise the compression ratio by 50 % you should increase the power by about 50%

Thanks mate. But wouldn't it nip up a lot because of the lack of cooling to the cylinder?

[tzsteve]

so then you need to cool the cylinder
