Text Box: Cylinder Head Flow Bench Text Box: Results: was a very well functioning tool with very good repeatability and results on the race track. Text Box: Scope: With my many years of involvement with racing from Go Karts to racing cars in SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) road racing and building my own engines, it became necessary to have a Flow Bench to quantify as well as get the most performance out of them… as the cylinder head and it’s ability to flow is where most of the power gains come from. Text Box: Fixtures/Tools (cont.) Text Box: Details: I found a set of crude plans in an old Hot Rod magazine, I laid it out/designed in AutoCAD Inventor and generated all the detail drawings and parts lists. The cabinet is MDO board screwed and glued, the control panel is an aluminum plate with machined features, the aperture plate is made from steel sheetmetal and uses (8) open frame high flow vacuum motors, the unit runs on 220v, the manometer and pressure meters were made from scratch. In order to flow a specific cylinder head I had to make a specific adaptor (wood working, machining, sheetmetal, cabling/wiring, OEM components) Text Box: Vincent T.
