Conquest Century cylinder head waterway inserts
Posted: Sun Dec 29, 2019 10:01 pm
Hello,
Can anyone help? I am refurbishing an aluminium cylinder head and wish to replace the aluminium inserts that are fitted into the water ways on the underside of the head, where the cooling water passes from the block to the head.
Does anyone have experience of doing this and does anyone have any of the inserts, (6 per head)? What diameter should the hole in the head be to accept the inserts (interference fit). The head needs some welding round the waterways.
I do have a sample of the very similar bronze insert that was fitted into the iron head of the Conquest 75hp saloon. If I have to, I will get some aluminium ones made using the bronze one as a pattern.
Hoping someone can help.
