ROCKET-428 CYLINDER HEAD
356-T6 Aluminum, 7:1 CR
all castings are 8 Spark plugs
FOR THOSE NEEDING A FOUR (4) PLUG HEAD
WE HAVE OPTIONAL
"PLUG-SEALS"



The Rocket's combustion chambers are a match of our very successful
Lion Speed Head III & IV.
The extra thick walls hold heat steady for even firing and extra metal is available to those that want to reshape to their own designs. The spark plug positions are designed for maximum flame front and have proven power on the dyno.
Plugs on the driver's side have more power.
All of Charlie Yapp's cylinder heads are custom tested designs.

The foundry and machine shop helping me produce this 2026 production run are the same who have done our Rocket-428 in the last run. They know my need for precision and have proven to me that they will do a fantastic Made-In-USA-job.
