Your Cad drawing and cnc machine skills kombined with creativity is very fascinating. I understand it is a real "timekiller" to do the cad drawing/measurements but the result is just awesome! Keep up the good work!
Nice stuff. Another option is to fit the 16 valve cylinder head from a BMW Kseries motorbike. It's a popular modification here for race cars and works very well and a lot easier to do than you may think!
I like this and will keep checking in from time to time, thank you guys!!
Great stuff. Really well done.
Very nice work really great to see your innovation, a really great improvement for the A series.
That is awesome - I want one !!!
Very nice work, this is the sort of thing I need for my future Mini project, can't wait for your next video :-)
Nice work
Really intresting. Do you offer any internships

We do. Check out our website for our location, and ideas on what kind of work we do, and what kind of projects we have.
hi´have a question, how do you can insert the head in the program? some kind of laser scan? or you need to input te all measures in the cad program, thank you

We design everything from scratch in CAD. Scanning existing parts isn't very helpful for the kind of designs we do.

@@ElmerRacing awesome job
ardun did 8 port cross flow heads 45 years ago, sadly all the ones i have ever found had stress cracks between cyl 2 and cyl 3, this was mainly due to copying the a series water channels with no bypass hose, which caused hot spots. the bmw head conversion looks interesting, but these days there are loads of engine choices, tuning the a series is moot.

We got very good power response from our 8port head. But the need for custom exhaust and intake manifolds do not a bolt-on solution make. :D We have discontinued our heads.
Hey, Very cool, how did you do with production? You guys remind me what what I was doing, theres is soo much work involved in that. Your hardly looking for a sequential gear shifter?! Jason

Production and testing was ok. But we have since discontinued the 8 port head do to low demand.
Setting the plugs the way you have isn't the way to have them ,your design will cause stress and wear on the piston and rod . The envelope flash will ignite across one side of the piston causing the piston to unbalance and rub the skirt against the cylinder leaving it to fail through fatigue. You criticised the original manufacturer's spark plug placement but at least they got it to ignite directly and evenly towards the crown of the piston , there's books out there to know about these things

Er, isn't this strictly a 7 port head?

studioAV Eton No, the head has 8 completely separate ports. Hence it's a 8 port head.
