Why does one Flow a Cylinder Head ?
Simply because this is what enhances the
power.
In
order to maximize the explosion within the
combustion chamber area of the cylinder
head, we need to let as much as possible
air/fuel mixture into the chamber.
This mixture enters the chamber through the
inlet port and is controlled by the inlet
valve.
Once this mixture is in place and gets
ignited by a properly timed spark, the
piston is forced downwards.
The bigger the explosion, the more the
downward force and the result is "More
Power".
After the combustion stroke has taken place,
the burnt gas exits the chamber past the
exhaust valve and through the exhaust port
into the exhaust system.

How do we do it?
|
|
Without going into great detail for obvious
reasons, we use a flow bench on which we are
able to measure port flow before and after
the head has been flowed.
In most cases we are able to increase the
flow through a port by roughly 20%.
This is achieved by carefully removing sharp
edges and rounding acute corners,
concentrating usually at the roof of the
port where the highest flow activity takes
place.
We remove as little material as possible to
ensure a lower overall port volume.
Depending on the requirement, in most cases
we tend to go for high flowing, small, high
velocity port, which produce good top end
power with virtually no bottom end loss.
A great deal of time is spent on the valves
and valve seats, where we gain good air flow
with small valve openings. The combustion
chamber as well as the exhaust ports are
also changed considerably to promote more
complete combustion. |
