Dumb Question On Cylinder Heads for K&B

[Speedway]

Hey Guys,

I researched all i could but have had no luck on the web so sorry if its a dumb question. I pulled the head off my 2 K&B 3.5's last night and they dont look the same between the 2 and not at all like my Picco heads. The SS head has near the top of the dome (Combustion side of coarse), 4 little dimples on one side of the plug hole and 3 on the other side. The Liquid head has 4 dimples on one side of the Plug hole and a dished in ramp on the other. Is this normal or some mod? I would think it would reduce the compression.

And insight would be appreciated.

The K&B 3.5ss has "finger porting" on the head button. The Water cooled 3.5SX has just a dome shaped head(well, mine does anyhow).

do you know which way to put the fingered button back? :unsure:

Those heads are a variation on the Keeley turbo head. The correct way to install it is the large cutout towards the exhaust port. I have 2 K&B powerheads water cooled with these heads and the canister muffler. Pretty strong runners...
