Makes sense. Just this conversation alone I have learned a lot about what this engine, or any engine needs for that matter.

At first I didn't understand what head lift actually meant, but now I get it.

So the top end of this engine is its weak point with its head that only has 8 mounting points to hold the entire head onto the engine. The gaps are too spaced apart which allows it to flex under pressure. To me that actually does make the weak point the block itself since the head was designed to attach to the block.

This aluminum engine head can't stay rigid against the top of the engine with only 8 mount points. A stronger head with its current mounts seems like it could only do so much.

Man I have ideas that could turn the Z into a Koenigsegg. Think freevalve. Question is, do I have the budget to make it happen
