BBC cylinder heads


Well ya learn sumthin' new every day ... I was watching the Gatornationals on TV and saw the Jason Line Summit Racing Pro Stock motor, which HAS to be a BBC, and I noticed that the valve covers had 4 bolts on the bottom (naturally) and ... 4 bolts on the top! World Taekwondo Foundation?! Of course I checked my very own BBC, and ... yah, 3 bolts on top. So, World ... well, you know.

So it took me a little while, Google search not always being so ".00001 seconds 97 quadrillion results (snotty young 'uns that they are)" but finally I discovered that, whilst improving the BBC cylinder heads to 12 degree spread port design, they also added another valve cover bolt:

Whoulda thunk, eh?

Hmmm, whilst sitting on the pot perusing an old Competition Products catalog (no I do not use catalog pages for wiping), I noticed that ALL of the spread port/low valve angle heads (Brodix "Big Duke", Dart "Big Chief", Pro-Filer "Hitman" etc.) have 4 bolts top and bottom.
