Raised exhaust ports produce outstanding airflow. Raised and machined valve cover gasket surface prevents oil leaks Shallow combustion chambers require smaller dome volume to produce high compression ratios. Interlocking ductile iron valve seats are compatible with stainless and titanium valves. Gasketed 3/4" reach spark plugs are centrally located in chambers to speed up flame travel.
