Yet again more W2 360 talk

I have thought about having the heads welded up to be closed chamber when I send them in to be repaired. (Now I realize 100% that I can just buy new heads for way cheaper but the whole point of this build is to use sentimental parts I have so that's why I am going the route I am on) maybe with the welded up close chambers I could reached 12.5:1 or even 13:1? Thoughts?


You are better off sticking the deck of the piston out of the hole of you want quench. Welding the head makes no sense.

There is way more to making power and detonation resistance than closed chambers and tight quench.
