hey guys, I've got the need for more speed and power. I already have the 50mm bbk, exhaust, intake, bigger carb...24mm I think maybe 23, a9 cam, pretty much everything you can get. I was looking last night at the big valve head and was wondering if anyone has this and if so how do you like it? the only thing I'm worried about is clearance. I remember back in the day people would double stack head gaskets, but I wasn't sure if there were other ways to do this or if it would be bad for an air cooled engine.
any help would be great, thanks

I have used scrappys big valve heads, but they used to be made by buford, he doesn't work there now so the quality won't be as high. They make a big difference no clearance issues and work well with 50mm kits 24mm carbs and stock 150cc manifolds.

Alright thanks, I was looking on eBay and I found an even bigger valve one like 2mm bigger in each, and it's only $35 but I'm just scared that it'll defiantly cause issues because 20 and 23mm valves are huge on these engines...but it's only $35! Idk I may try it and if anything add another base gasket

Idk I may try it and if anything add another base gasket don't waste your money. i bought the same one from 02starrider, it's junk. so unless you plan to lap the valves and port the head i wouldn't bother. save your pennies and get one from scrappy or any other reputable dealer. they are expensive for a reason. they actually take the time to port and polish unlike those $35 heads that are in the box the moment the metal cools. |

Alright good to know, the one from scrappy does anyone know the difference between the performance and the high performance one? Because I see the performance one with or without the carb and high performance with or without the cars but they don't say what the difference is besides like $50

Hoca also has a good head. You can find one on amazon for about $100.

i believe the high performance is hand ported with bigger valve's i used to do them. they really kick butt.. but like i said im not doing them for them any more so dont know who is doing them..would like to see one though....and the performance is just bigger valves no port work..

Hope you start a business of your own Buford heads are the best, huge boost on all the bikes I installed them on. Can't buy anything close gonna do a water cooled stroker project buying another scoot just like the one I have in a few weeks won't be the same without the Buford head.
