ROCKET-428 CYLINDER HEAD
356-T6 Aluminum, 7:1 CR
Twin 8 plugs - Default)
this head wins hill climbs!


The Rocket's combustion chambers are a match of our very successful Lion Speed Head IV.
The thick walls hold heat steady for even firing and extra metal is available to those that want to reshape to their own designs. The spark plug positions are designed for maximum flame front and have proven power on the dyno. Plugs on the left have more power.
