SWEET Runner!!!! Pepper and spice runs real nice!! Always wanted to experiment with Titanium valve train. Your build reminds of the days when Okrasa was making stuff in the 50's and 60's.
I wonder what those guys would think of the stuff we are doing today?

Hi hot 1200! Been reading your thread at volkszone and now inspired to build a 1200 to 1384. Have a 1300sp head lying around, any idea to flycut how many mm to have the compression back? Will there be any interference with the cooling fin?

Nice build! Any information on cutting the heads, what compression ratio did you end up with? Sound really strong
