Title: M44 head. Good for anything?
Post by: HMS_Tim on October 06, 2008, 01:19:21 PM

Hey guys,
I've got a descent m44 head sitting around here.  Are these good for anything as far as a build is concerned?  It looks like a cool design.  Are their weak points in the design?  Are they buildable?  Do they make good power if so?
I was planning on selling it, but I just wanted to know if it was good and If should keep it.
I haven't really heard of anyone using an m44 head on an m42 build, that I know of.  I hear rods and crank for turbos and stuff.  


Just checking.

Thanks,
Tim

Maybe the Z3 kids know something about it.

I heard that M44 head had better flow than M42, but you know that M44 valvetrain can't rev too much high :(
 
Nothing documented...
waiting for proven informations...
