Reading this thread reminds me of my ignorance about the various cylinder heads. Is the T&T head the same as the Dave Dye head (they look very similar)? It seems strange that the pictures of actual heads differ from the Ricardo patent drawing, in having restricted space over the inlet valve rather than the exhaust. Has anyone come across a head made in the style of the Ricardo drawing? Do any exist in this form? I have always used standard '37 type Austin heads, but I have occasionally wondered if the right aluminium head with its different design could be better, but if so which one?
