B230F Head on a B230K engine with B230 A/E Pistons
B230F Head on a B230K engine with B230 A/E Pistons
That title is a bit of a mouthful. phew.
anyways.
the story is as follows.
My b230K's head rusted out from previous owners neglect. the result? need a new head. recently discovering that a K Head (631) needs special pistons due to no CC and the heads are rather rare.
so i've had no choice but to source a head off a B230F now i know i cant use the K's pistons as the compression will be way way wayyy off (as 531,530 heads have a CC in the head, not the piston.)
so i'm sourcing pistons more suitable. i was thinking b230F pistons but it is incredible expensive for me from IPD.
KGTrimning in sweden may be cheaper for me though they dont have stock of F pistons but do have a full set of A/E Pistons
this is where i did some research/brainstorming and thought. hmm.
and i learnt.
Compression ratios
B230K 10.3:1
B230F 9.8:1
B230A/E 10.3:1
Now i feel i may be crazy. but if i go with A/E Pistons that should would perfectly no?(i'm assuming A/E engines use 530/531 heads) i'd be keeping to the K's intended compression ratio perfectly but now with a fresh. not rusted the eff out head (to clarify the rust actually put a hole in the side of the old head
)
could someone confirm for me if i'm on the right train of thought?
