Help sought jkd 16v head

Post by Nathan1293 »

Hi All

I recently got a Jack Knight Developments (unused) bare 16v cylinder head, originally just memorabilia. However, if I. Can obtain some technical information about the complete set up I’d like to get this up and running.

If you have or know someone that has a JKD 16v head or have technical info (not sales brochures), please get in contact with me.

I do have a lead where someone is running a 1380 JKD engine in a rally car based in south Wales, together with the engine builder ISJ Engineering. Unfortunately, I can only find them on Facebook (so I may have to finally make an account).

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Nathan

Hi

Yeah I thought about adding this request to the existing post, but wasn't sure if it was off topic.

Regardign the second point Rich, with what I have missing in principle it should be possible to re-engineer cost effectively, but it would be much easier with some diamensions or a pattern example. Hence wanting to find some friendly owner of one.

If I can't that's fine. I bought the head as memorablia anyway, I didn't pay a lot for it.

The head is incredably compact and light! Interesting that it only uses the standard 9 stud pattern rather than 11 studs.
