visual difference between chamber sizes
I have two sets of heads, one is cast #624 76cc other is a cast# 434 60cc(according to mortec.com)
I looked at both thier chambers, and they seem to be exact copies, I used a contour gauge and the shape is the same?
can you visually tell between smogger chambers and small chambers?
please tell me im not going crazy lol

Re: visual difference between chamber sizes
Yea, you should be able to tell fairly easily. I don't have any pics firsthand, but I know Fast355 or F-bird'88 and sofakingdom have posted some chamber pics before.
IIRC though - the 434's are just more smog junk, exactly like the 624's, and should have the same chamber. That would explain it. I'd guess mortec got a typo?

I may be wrong about those. I did remember the casting number sounded familiar, and sounded like an older smog style.
Fast355 says they're alright though, so take any "good"/"bad" advice with a grain of salt. What you want to know is chamber size, and if they are indeed 305 heads (sounds like they are) then they gotta be smaller.
I had 993 heads that I practiced with, (76cc) then 416's (58cc), and it was fairly obvious on them. I don't think i've got any pictures though...
