I don't have any experience with the Aluminum Head for the TR6, but one of
my TR3/4 engines has one. Initially we had a lot of trouble getting it to
seat. It would seal for two or three racing sessions and then begin to leak.
It was frustrating and we put it on the shelf for a few years, and then we
finally were successful using one of Mordy's copper gaskets and some new
(at the time) gasket sealer (by Honda, I think). Obviously there is a weight,
and perhaps a cooling advantage, but past that I don't see any big deal
over the standard heads on our other engines.
Sure looks neat. Gets a lot of comments.
