CB 044 Wedge Port improvements?


As the title suggests.... Is there anything I can do to improve my CB 044 Wedgie?....

Some of you may know that I'm building a long awaited 2276 EFI/Intercooled/Turbo engine and I'm hoping to actually start the build this winter...

So before I dig in is there any room for the layman to make improvements on these heads?

Muffin Man? Any ideas oh great Sage from the Nor East? Anyone?




FUCH your early!

Put a shim under the springs to stop chaffing.

You may like to dowel the manifolds if yours are loose from CB.

Remove sharp edges from the chambers.

Use a dummy valve to protect the seats from the rotary burr. (Raymond)

Perhaps check the valve job is to suit your valve size.
Some are 44 valve and have a seat to suit a 42.

Cheers Dave..... Will dig those babies out and have a gander at the seats.... That is a little odd that some 44 valves had 42 seats!!?? And thanks for the other tips.....
