[20v] 7A vs 3B C/R

[JShadzi at aol.com]

Brandon, I've measured both in the past and found them to be the same, but usually a few cc variance between heads is common.  Have you pressed him on his knowledge of the piston differences?  Can he show you what he's referring too?  The only real difference between 7A and 3B heads is the water manifold configuration, cc chambers are the same, valve sizes are the same, etc, and as far as I know, the 7A even uses sodium filled valves.

HTH,
Javad
