Aluminum Head
 
So a buddy of mine works for a local engine builder and right now he's with his boss in Indianapolis at some engine show.
I woke up this morning and he had sent me a picture text of a 12 Valve cummins with a polished aluminum head saying, "You need to put this in your truck." I had never seen one before, I guess I didn't even know anyone made one.
It's made by Indy Cylinder Heads.
My question is, does anyone make an aluminum cylinder head for a 24 Valve?

:humm:

I can't answer your question, sorry, but the stock cast heads are prone to warping as it is, wouldn't aluminum be worse?

Well the aluminum is going to dissipate the heat better and faster :humm:

Here's a picture of it.

Sorry about the quality but it's from a camera phone.

Shoot, I'll have to go get that. Last time I looked they still had the issue on the shelves with the $160,000 super duty on the front.
