World Product S/R Torquer 58cc heads
I'm looking for a pair of the cast World Product S/R Torquer 58cc heads that they made for the 305's. Apparently they stopped producing the S/R Torquers in 58cc a couple years ago.

Re: World Product S/R Torquer 58cc heads
What is the difference between the regulars and the torquers?
I thought I bought the S/R Torquers 20 years ago when I rebuilt my 305.
It was not until only a few years ago that I found that what I received from
RHS were actually circle track heads with 2.02/1.6 valves in them and some
improperly oversized valve seals that the retainers smacked into at full valve lift.
But at the time I figured that RHS knows more than me and bolted them on.
Cam lobes got destroyed as a result and all that shrapnel went through the engine,
destroying pretty much everything. I was able to resurrect it, and hope to get the
car back on the road this year.
As far as I know, there were no differences to the head castings themselves.
The differences were in the way the valve train was set up.

Re: World Product S/R Torquer 58cc heads
The S/R heads are just an improvement in casting over the stock heads. S/R =Stock Replacement with not much difference in flow over stock. The Torquers are designed to flow a bit better than the regular S/R heads or stock heads.

Re: World Product S/R Torquer 58cc heads
Yes. They should have the smaller valves and the casting should read "305 I-058".

According to this World Products sheet, the 305 heads did not come in a Torquer version.
