Kleinig finned alloy racing head

[kotemaori]

The Kleinig heads have finally been completed, at least, the ones for the water pump engine, the 1939 on generator mount heads have been cast and ready to machine.[frame][/frame]

Looks impressive, have you got any photos of the combustion chambers? I am also interested to see how the top hose connects upto the two outlets. I bet it cost a lot more than the Derrington head

Will get a pic of the combustion chambers, at the moment Bob has them all, heres a pic of the horizontally split 2 peice head with water rail and distributor boss.[frame][/frame]

Here is a pic of the combustion chambers just after the flycutting for valve relief was machined, this is only needed when higher lift cam is used.[frame][/frame]

Wow!!!

The head looks fantastic and would be even better with the monaro carb set. What about an a set of extractors to complete the set up. My poor old side values may actually go up hills without dropping into first...

When are they available?

Shame to use it - it looks so luverly! Who made them originaly? German? Dutch?

Hi Alan Frank Kleining produced these in the 1950's in NSW Australia, but apparently not as effective as the Mazengarb conversion.

Can you fit the Monro Twin carb set up with head ? are these still for sale as I recall a small batch being made!

[kotemaori]

Monaro Motors twin carb manifolds still available, the head works with any type of induction

[alanworland]

What sort of gains are to be had from the head (only) as surely the combustion chamber 'shape' is similar to the original cast iron? I assume the compression ratio goes up?
