- help me understand difference between open close chamber heads
The domed area of an "Open" chamber will extend to the diameter of the cylinder bore A "Closed" chamber has a diameter which is smaller than the bore, typically a lot smaller The deck surface will extend into the chamber creating a "Quench" area between the head and the flat portion of the piston
- closed vs open chamber big block heads, and casting#s
Closed-chamber cylinder heads have small combustion chamber volumes for high compression ratios, with even mildly domed pistons Open-chamber designs are larger and provide lower compression ratios, so require a much larger piston dome to achieve the same compression as a closed-chamber head
- big block head questions | For B Bodies Only Classic Mopar Forum
'Open chamber' means the chamber extends above the whole bore (or about the while bore) Closed means it only extends to where the valves are, 'closed' for the rest of the bore If you decide to go with the 915's, I have a nice set of the big exhaust valve heads assembled available
- Difference between Open and Closed chamber Heads
If you compare an open and closed chamber head side by side, there is a noticeable difference This enlargement definitely lowered compression, depending on piston top shape, as much as 1-3 points BUT, as a result, the larger chambers raised the POTENTIAL for more power
- What Is the Difference Between Open Closed Chamber Cylinder Heads?
Although open chamber cylinders offer easier flow, the closed chamber cylinder is better for performance Compression ratios are also affected by the size of the chambers Open chamber cylinder heads have spark plug areas pushed to meet the edge of the cylinder, creating more room in the chamber
- difference between closed open chamber heads | Hot Rod Forum
Small, tight, heart shaped chambers are referred to as "closed" and larger, D shaped chambers as "open " Of course the closed chamber heads will be smaller, so you'll get more compression in the head, but generally open chambered heads flow a bit better, all else being equal
- define open and closed chamber heads - PY Online Forums - Bringing the . . .
Most folks describe an "open" chamber as one that has less quench area than a previous design--Pontiac and BBC are two examples Even the so-called "open" chambers of later design have some quench area, just not as much as the older designs
- Open Chamber heads Vs. Closed chamber - Chevy Message Forum . . . - ChevyTalk
Advice from some friends said to put a pair of open chamber heads on my engine to get the best performance What is the difference between open and closed chamber heads? Would I be better off just looking for a set of closed chamber heads with a big combustion chamber?
- Whats the difference between open closed chamber heads?
The open chamber haed is just the opposite with a larger chamber You could tell them apart because on the closed chamber head, instead of being basically round the chamber was sort of figure 8 shaped
- closed vs open chambers - Team Chevelle
I know piston design varies, but is there a significant difference in performance or driveability with either open or closed chamber heads? I am looking at building a replacement "427" Big Block for my Chevelle
