Great Experience with Kamtechnik Heads

Hi all,

Sorry if this is a bit of a thread re-hash and or sounds like an advert. I have NO relationship to Greg at Kamtechnik and only discovered him and his awesome products here on the forum doing exactly what I hoped the forum would do!

I bought four of the 049.... heads and four of the 049.... radial mounts from Greg. The first thing that struck me on receiving them was that they are works of art! I have never seen such beautifully machined parts. I have raced yamaha TZ grand prix bikes which were the privateer bikes and a few times I was lucky enough to get some parts that were made for the "factory works team" and not even they were machined and finished like the Kamtechnik parts!

Besides looking like they should be in a Jewell type case they worked and performed excellently as I hoped! I ran one of the heads on my Tee-Sure 049 which is an 049 Tee Dee with a surestart cylinder and nicely matching piston with some very minor port changes, standard 049 drum muffler, and pressure from the muffler, I didn't tacko it, but once I added one extra cylinder head gasket (total of two) it started easily and ran like a daemon. . I don't own or bother with Tachos but I can say, I was glad when the tank emptied. I was using 25% nitro and 15% castor with 5% synthetic to keep the engine clean.

I have since ordered enough of the heads to see me to the end of my days. The turbo plugs over here in Oz where I buy them are the same price as the screwins used in the standard cox adapter and other Glow engines, but are more plentiful and the fellas reckon are the future as many other IC glow sports use them.

Clearly results will vary for different combos of parts, fuel, props and even what the engine is intended for. But for me they are perfect. I even reckon they might support my Nirvana of no Nitro. Im going to give that a try later to day. The head chamber shape is very nice and tight with very high compression. Certainly worth a go, just to see. But regardless, they are spot on for my use and the mongrel bitsa I am developing for my own flying needs.

Cheers,
Gary
