Here's one of my old 202 rods, with reference

Is that a VB?

I take it you lost?...

Nah, still had 5cyl of Holden muscle lol

[MAGP]

They arnt doing to bad considering they are handling almost 4 times the power of the original motor!

And lets not rule out just yet that both times these bent was more than likely from a hydraulic lock!

If you had hydraulic lock then something is desperately wrong. Top fuelers run without suffering hydraulic lock and the a/f and compression ratios are alot higher than a stock block 202 will ever see.

its not hydraulic locking when running ... methanol starting cold is the reason it does it .... cranks and cranks without firing and is very easy to flood it ..... these days I try to spray some assistance into the inlet before starting it

[MAGP]

ah ok now I get it.

[Holden202T]

ok took a few more pics of the head for anyone interested in what they come like stock, I've left them bigger than I normally would for zoom purposes, so sorry to those on slow internet

Have you got flow figures for the head?
Are you planning on any port work?

[Holden202T]

the only info I have is this: http://store.yellaterra.com.au/holden-i ... r-package/

I am planning to install it as is to begin with, it will be more flow than the head I had, and when it comes time to service it then i'll look at some more porting etc.
