Adding Cooling Fins to Aftermarket Heads

[Mr_Zed_ZX20]

Any progress??

Unfortunately not....I produced the first set of fins and did not get enough feed-back on demand to move forward.
I decided to build the engine with the standard Comp Eliminator Fin design and de-tune the compression a bit and improve lubrication to see the effects of that on the street. Also, other life events have put the hobby portion of Air-cooled life on hold. I probably have two days worth of work on the 2498 build before it can be fired for the first time it's just difficult to get to the shop. No spare time right now. The 57' Oval isn't even getting much love since last Fall.
