Actually, they've got less. As in, a LOT LESS. Measure them. Then
measure a stock head. Surprise! :-)

There's bags of information out there about these heads, from their
inception to their ultimate use on the drag strip. But when someone
who has failed to do any basic research on a topic then fails to
provide a valid email address, it forces others to take the time to
repeat what has already appeared. Personally, I've stopped trying to
help such people, having taken on a more than full-time load trying to
come up to date on my cancer situation. If they are too important --
or whatever -- to use a valid email address, I'm too important -- or
whatever -- to waste my time on them. And being a parrot IS a waste.

First of all, if you want someone's email address, why don't you just ask
for it? Being an asshole is very counterproductive. Like many others, the
reason I don't "fly" a valid email address is spam, but I have never failed
to cheerfully give mine to anyone that asks.

As for the bag of information out there on Scat heads, I could give a ****
less. You have been clamering around for weeks now, whining about the woes
of making your own cylinder head, so I thought I would mention it. If you
don't like, I don't care why, I don't need a bedtime story.

As for help, I don't really need yours. Everything I have offered you was to
assist your efforts, including offers to send you free samples of
professional use materials, and help you locate low cost quailty metals. If
I wanted to make a cylinder head, I would do so, as I have been doing such
things professionally for many, many years.

I would also caution not only you, but anyone else interested in your
project. You make a LOT of statements and assumptions that are nothing short
of dead wrong, and demonstrate the severity of your inexperience with metal
casting. You and your followers will discover in the months and years ahead.
If someone is considering following the advice of you or your buddy Stealth,
I hope they have plenty of time and money to waste on the project, because
learning metal casting by trial and error is a very lenghty, costly and most
often fruitless endeavor.
