Unknown Hodaka Cylinder Head

[Dschertzer]

I was just curious about this "modified" Hodaka head. It must be for racing, but I am not sure of this. Any comments are appreciated.
Thanks,

I have one about like that. Somebody went ape$hit with a drill on a stock head. The material removal theoretically served two purposes - lightening and better heat dissipation. Did it succeed? I'll leave that to someone who knows.

Aluminum being a heat sink, I believe if you take too much away you actually loose cooling. Also. some of those holes are rather large, again taking away surface area for the heat to disipate.

looks cool, I don"t think it will make any difference either direction. ---------------------Clarence
