i was thinking about putting a 24 valve head on my future 12 valve race truck. does it just bolt on or do i have to do a little modificating?
damn i always thought they were the same thing. if you put a 24v cam in a 12v motor/12v valve train would it give more lift?
yup, 24V head = 24V pistons 12V head = 12V pistons
you can only use the 12v set on a 12v and a 24v set on a 24v. none of the studs match in length between the two sets, if that is what you are asking, you have me a bit confused.
Stud length is what i was thinking would be different, I assume everything else about the studs is the same, all 12mm between the 12v and 24v, witht eh esame thread pitch. Length is the only difference??
Could i have my 12 pistons fly cut for the valves? and would i have to use new custom injector lines? can 12 valve injectors screw into a 24 valve head? Because using the stock injector line, my mechanical pump, 12v injectors and having the pistons fly cut would be the best route for me. That is of course i travel down this road some day for my devious plan.
When i say 12v, i mean 1st gen VE rotor pump. Lol. I know it sound ridiculous, but there are reasons. Now what are the benifits of running a 24v head? I've always been told that the 12v heads flow more air.
