what would be even better would be if we could get a 4-valve head. Look at the quads that have a four valve head. they blow away a motor the same size that is only 2 valve. :confused: :confused:

which would require a double over head cam WHICH btw is not legal in the two largest Sanctioning bodies in the US.

just stating the facts
i got into lawn mower racing because it is a cheaper motor sport and i have found it to be far from that

And what one is cheaper?

And I agree that it would be a waste of my time and money, but if you have an excess of both, thats like Machinist heaven right there, cool as all get out, useless, but cool,lol.
