NOTICE

Please read this notice and only continue if you are willing to abide by our updated backorder acquisition and fulfillment terms of service.


Supply-chain disruptions have hampered our ability to acquire/restock items reliably. Additionally, a lack of backorder ETA information is a frustrating "new normal" for our hobby. As a result, we have had to change our BACKORDER ACQUISITION TERMS OF SERVICE. If you opt to have us "send backorders later", backordered items will ship automatically if we are able to get them within 30 days. Longer than 30 day backorders WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CANCELLED. Made-to-order, Special-Order, and Direct-shipped items may take longer than 30 days, and will NOT be auto-canceled.


On the next page, you will be prompted to select a BACKORDER HANDLING INSTRUCTION for your Order Request. In every case, you are NOT CHARGED for out-of-stock items (we ONLY charge for items that are available to be shipped in a timely or reasonably reliable timeframe). If you opt to "send backorders later" you are automatically added to the waitlist for those items, and we post stock status / backorder info to your Order Status/Progress/History Detail View in your online Customer Account. You can email to cancel un-shipped/un-paid items at any time as long as they are not direct-shipped, special order or made/machined-to-order.

Currently many shipments are delayed and our response time to emails are slow (we are severely short-staffed). Please trust that even if we can't reply to your email promptly, we are continuing to work to fulfill your Order Request as best we can, and we will contact you once we have any new information that is not already posted in your online Order Progress/History area in your customer account.


Please only continue if you are prepared to be PATIENT. Some of the items in your cart might be out-of-stock, and if that is the case, within a day or two we will post itemized stock status information to your account and/or email you to let you know. We appreciate your continued support and understanding.

ACN Stocker Plus Dual Port Cylinder Heads, (L3 heads) 35 X 32mm Valves, PAIR
ACN Stocker Plus Dual Port Cylinder Heads, (L3 heads) 35 X 32mm Valves, PAIR
Photos show a stock 85.5mm bore size with the 59cc combustion chamber WITHOUT the "Step" in it! Combustion efficiency is far better without a step in the combustion chamber! Photos show a single head, but these heads are sold PER PAIR!!!
 
ACN Stocker Plus Dual Port Cylinder Heads, (L3 heads) 35 X 32mm Valves, PAIR are made from brand new castings! These are a nice upgrade from stock heads, with a flow increase of 15-20%. Consider these a "Super Stock" cylinder head for your car! They are an excellent choice for enthusiasts that want more than "stock", with flow increase of 15-20% compared to a stock DP head. We had had customers that dynoed engines with these heads over 130hp!

Aircooled.Net has sold our L3s for over a decade, and these are IMPROVED, now being based on an imported casting, with larger ports than stock. Heads are equipped with 14mm x 3/4" Reach plug threads (which prevents plugs stripping out, like on the 1/2" reach heads!), Hi Chrome Valve Seats, Silicone Bronze Valve Guides, HD Valve Springs, Hardened Keepers, and Chromoly Retainers, then finished with a top notch valve job. Out of the box these have ~59cc chambers in the all bore sizes, from the stock 85.5mm all the way up to 94mm

If you would like a larger or smaller chamber, we can provide this for an additional cost to get your compression ratio perfect!

These heads are great if you choose to use stock heater boxes too, since using larger exhaust valves with stock heater boxes is a BAD IDEA!

ACN L3s flow about 130cfm on the intakes at .450" lift (28" of water); a great bargain for power. Combustion Chambers are approximately 59cc, and these chambers do NOT have the "Step" present, which makes your calculations and assembly easier!

With these heads we recommend valve lifts in the .400-.450" range, more than this and you need more cylinder head, or less cam!

These heads are good for around 90hp and 115lb/ft of torque, which is great for "mild" applications, and it is achieved with true BOLT ON (rather than Master Mechanic) skills in your driveway or table top! You can use a stock carb and exhaust, or use a mild header along with dual 1bbls or even dual 2bbl carbs (DLRAs or IDFs).

5 of 5 Runs cooler + MPG increase! April 21, 2016
Reviewer: Brian C from Dallas, TX United States  
I don't normally write reviews but these are worth writing about.  I put these on my stock 1600.  Before my head temps would be between 400-425F all the time, now they run between 300-340F... nearly 100F cooler!  Could have partially been poor tuning but still way cooler, I get better mileage, and probably a 2 to 3 horsepower increase.  I have almost 15000 miles on them and I couldn't be happier.  I'd buy them again in a heartbeat.

5 of 5 Sweet heads February 26, 2013
Reviewer: Rick H from Blackshear, GA United States  
I was reluctant to buy these heads.  I worried about how the rest of the engine- tin, exhaust, etc., would fit.  After asking John a few questions I decided to go for it.  I'm very glad I did.  Everything fits perfectly, I can tell a difference in acceleration, gas mileage, and best of all, cooler engine temps. Thanks for the help and excellent product John!
