hi people ive been reading up on the K series BMW head conversion and thought id look at a different one, see what else fits. ive come across this.... any thoughts as to whether it would be ok?? the valves in the corner are quite close to the walls.

Don't you mean you are looking at different heads?

Or have I misread the post?

CBR600 :)

GSXR600 is very similar and would be about the same, also looked into a zx6r head which also might work. looks like most 600cc bike heads are similar. 750cc have larger bores but its the spacing that messes it up.

thinking about that head gasket, im gonna need to cut holes in it for water, oil and the bolts..... its gonna be like cheese by the time im finished!! im tempted to question the strength of the gasket with so many holes....

CBR900 has 70mm bore but the spacing is different to a mini. BUT its the same size for the bolts (to use on a 600 head).... could i use one of them and dremel away at the top of the bore where the gasket O is so it lines up with the block?!

I think the CBR600 head has already been done - I'm sure I saw a video on youtube of one.
