Hi all
As some of you may have seen about 12 months ago I created a 3D model of the pinto Cylinder head which I then ported and 5 axis machined.

Since then I've been adding more detail to my model, and I think I've now got all the detail to make a had from scratch
But as there is already a standard alloy pinto head I plan on redesign the ports, raising both inlet and exhaust for better flow, but still keeping all standard bolt on parts.
The biggest issue I'm having at the moment is deciding how to have the casting cast. A few options included
- lost foam casting from machined foam pattern
- 3D sandprinting
- make proper patterns for sand casting
They all have pros and cons depending on volumes.
Anyone got any helpful info regarding alloy casting of cylinder heads in low volume
Thanks for any help
