[Healeys] Alloy head for BN2

[Jean Caron]

Totally agree with Michael on this one. I have see a lot of people trying to reinvent the wheel so to speak. If you want to drive your BN2 and experience what it was like when it was new, nothing is better than staying as stock as possible. Maintenance of these cars is key, not necessarily modifying them to make them like a modern car.

IMHO the glory of the 100 for normal road use is the bottom end torque.
I have no idea how the aluminium heads perform relative to the cast iron in this regard but, unless you have competition in mind, I would recommend staying as stock as possible.
You will find that the engine sounds somewhat different with the alloy head but you have to be around 100's a lot to know the difference.

     I’m ready to order an aluminum head from Dennis Welch for my BN2.  I’m trying
to decide between the “standard”  or the “fast road” model;  the latter will
cost about U$775 more.  I wonder if I would appreciate the difference – I drive
about 2000 miles/year, no racing.
     Also I would order their “competition head gasket”and stud set.  Do I need anything else?
Any advice appreciated.  Thanks –Chappy Rice
