Just a couple of simple questions - can I physically fit Mk III heads to my Mk II engine ? And would the bigger valves have any real effect. or would I need to make other changes ?
Hmmmm. I think the mk III came with bigger round slide carbs didn’t it? Might at least need a set of those too.
Same 36mm round pumpers.
I didn’t know the MK111’s valves were bigger.
Might be cheaper to have the MK11 macined and bigger vaves put in.
The oil feed to the valves would need modifying.
And round barrels look prettier.
Hi William,
Good question. Just to clarify you’re talking V50 here are you?
Bigger valves won’t do much on their own so you’d need later/larger/upjetted carbs and, possibly, better airflow. Is there much difference in the performance figures? All the best Steve
Yes, to clarify, my question relates to V50 Mk II and Mk III.
