Yes , Ben @AF did some extensive testing a couple of years ago with airflow / temperture testing equipment , from what i remember he found out that there was very little difference in cooling over the various ways of fitting head and flywheel cowlings and different flywheels , what he did find was that the larger heads made a big difference in lowering running tempertures and thus why they have now produced the Mamouth head.
Are these similar to the Moss heads theyve been using for a few years.
