But anyway, try Andrew Coholic on the below address -

Canadian based and a nice fellow also - he usually needs the original glow head posted to him as a template if the engine is somewhat 'unusual' and advice as to what style the outer finning of the head shape should be.

I have one of his conversion heads that has no fins for use in a control line stunter withe the head fully exposed to the prop wash (just think of a shiny bald mans head and you pretty much get the picture here) but if its for inside of an enclosed vehicle like a buggy then you are going to need all the fins that you can get to bleed off the heat. Now I know that diesels can tolerate a hotter operating environment but at 20 000+ rpm I would think that a considerable heat sink would still be needed.

So give Andrew a bell mate, maybe something can be sorted out here.

Oh and the beefed up Davis rod would be a great idea also as diesels can be harsh on the plain bearings of the big and small ends, as well as stressing out the 'knife edge' original rod beyond its design parameter.

Cheers and good luck.</span></p><!EndFragment></meta&gt;</meta&gt;</meta&gt;</meta&gt;</meta&gt;</meta&gt;
