I get a PM from TonyD in September of 2012 about the Goerz-Paeco DOHC L6 Head coming up for air.<\/p>\n

Which led to a brief discussion about what would be involved in producing a head. And that was the end of it… Or so you thought.<\/p>\n

Tony and I started trading emails about the feasibility\u00a0 of producing it and what kind of heads we could use as a donor for the valve train. Tony suggested bringing Jeff P on board because of his work with cooling the L6 head. Tony and I kicked around RB and KA motors for a while and then Tony suggested checking out theHonda K20. Bingo. Removable cam towers, factory roller rockers and a plethora of aftermarket parts. I called one oh my clients that is big in the import drag market and\u00a0 procured an old K20 head. I did some quick measurements and decided that it was probably workable. And so the journey began.<\/p>\n

The idea is to use the cam towers and valve train from a K20.<\/p>\n

I grabbed a quick scan with my white light scanner of the exterior. It\u2019s dirty because I\u2019m only using it as a reference scan to design against.<\/p>\n

I imported the scan into my solids program and then proceed to replace the mesh with solids.<\/p>\n

\"exterior<\/a><\/p>\n

Jeff provided me with a great CAD drawing of his head gasket to work from. I decided to take a module approach to model the head. I made a single cylinder complete and the copied and offset it for the other cylinders.<\/p>\n

\"single<\/a><\/p>\n

I then pulled the solids together to create a single model<\/p>\n

I was pretty much at a standstill until I could figure out the timing chain setup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
