Title: VX Head - identification help needed. Post by: MattNoVAT on August 05, 2013, 02:51:20 PM I have a head which was sold to me as a VX head and I'm trying to determine if it really is a VX head. I have spare 1600 and 2000 heads and its definitely different to to all of those.
The cast numbers on the head I need confirmation are as follows: FF V.1. S62 4371507 Any help is gratefully received ;D Title: Re: VX Head - identification help needed. Post by: peteracs on August 05, 2013, 06:37:45 PM Hi Matt
If you are stuck, try GC's forum, he is bound to know... May even be in his book, will check later tonight. Peter Title: Re: VX Head - identification help needed. Post by: HFStuart on August 05, 2013, 09:09:17 PM It is in the (old version) book
According to guy 4371507 is 1600 & 2000 131, 1800 & 2000 132 and Monte The casting number for the VX head is given as 5936188 though that shows as having the smaller (41.8mm) inlets and I'm pretty sure the VX had 43.5mm inlets Title: Re: VX Head - identification help needed.

Loose leaf format in binder to make it workshop friendly and also to show for updates or notes to be added, secondly it is at a bargain price compared to the last edition check out his forum for details Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2 Title: Re: VX Head - identification help needed.

Peter Title: Re: VX Head - identification help needed. Post by: MattNoVAT on August 06, 2013, 07:31:43 AM Peter, can you explain? I'm lost on what the typo is/was.
In the old version the inlet & outlet valve sizes are all the same 41.8mm & 36mm. Is this corrected in the new version (I thought VX inlets were 43mm) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Title: Re: VX Head - identification help needed. Post by: rossocorsa on August 06, 2013, 07:52:52 AM vx inlets are larger I believe there are also other tc heads with the larger inlets but they may differ internally and not be so advantageous. I have a few vx heads and will take and post a picture of one with the casting numbers if i get time

Today I found the VX head that I thought I had somewhere.
Silly me, I picked up the wrong head!! This is what comes from having half a dozen heads in boxes, all wrapped in identical bubble wrap!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
