I've got the time slips to prove those heads will work with the factory valves, good springs,  light port work, a decent size cam and a 72mm bore.

And there you have confirmation. I can't speak about the performance of the earlier model heads after port and valve spring work but with the right cam and pistons, they make decent power. And that's my last sales pitch for Bills cylinder head. Lol.

I had to mill my F2 head .060" to get the chamber volume the same as earlier K head.  Running 10.5 :1 cycle x 970 K pistons.  You also have to have brass bushings installed in some of the cylinder stud holes in the head so you dont have oil leaks.

I've been using the 750 DOHC pistons with their shoulder turned off 1.5mm, about 1/4" in, with the K7/8 and F2/3 heads. It makes the CR about 9.2:1 on the F, and about 9.5:1 on the K7/8 head. I also mill the heads a bit, about 0.5mm.
See SOHC4shop@gmail.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

Blood is thicker than water, but motor oil is thicker yet...so, don't mess with my SOHC4, or I might have to hurt you.

RR..........take a look at the 915 kit from Dynoman for the F2-3 motors. I used CB900C rods with J&E 62mm pistons and installed a squish-band on the perimeter of the head except at the valves where it is not needed. No decking other than a few thou to get level. Note the egg-shape of the chamber perimeter. Compression is 12:1+ when cold.

OS, this would be going on a billet block 1000cc engine, on a K8 bottom end, if it will work, i'm interested in the F2 head because of the bigger inlet spigots, I'm going to run fuel injection and the Throttle Bodies I have are going to be easier to fit using the bigger diameter F2 rubbers and spigots, I considered having F2 spigots machined into a 392 K8 head, but if the F2 {410} head will work I will go with that...

My opinion.

The 410 head is the best option for a motor that size Retro.

Cheers,

That deck # is correct.....055 to .065. Though those #'s start to miss with the cam chain. Boy...older thread  ;D
