So as of about three weeks ago…..Blair Patrick Enterprises is the only distributor of BBM heads.  You don’t buy them from BBM going forward.  I get all of the castings, handle all technical questions, do all finish work, and handle all BBM head sales.  I did a total redesign of the intake and exhaust ports, and made some improvement to the already very good chamber he had.  The new castings have C8OE-BP casting ID.  The heads are very good.  I offer five different combinations.  The base combo is a CNC clean-up intake port and as-cast exhaust and chamber.  That version with 2.200/1.665 valves will flow 340/240(pipe) out of the box.  The .500 lift flow on the base 2.200 head is 315 cfm. Various versions flow more and less depending on the valve sizes.  A 2.250/1.680 with full CNC job will flow 320+ at .500 and 360 -ish at .800.  CNC exhaust will flow 265-270 with a 2x6 pipe.  Intake valve options 2.100, 2.200, 2.220, and 2.250.  Exhaust valve options are 1.625, 1.665, and 1.680.  I have versions with different prep for enhanced low and mid lift flow, and versions for high lift flow with extremely large cams.  I have six go-to spring packages depending on cam being used, so you don’t have to buy heads and then re-buy a spring package. Beehive, conical, and high end solid roller dual springs.  These are all combos I have used and I know they work.  Cam/lifter/spring packages are available. 


First 15 pairs sold.  20 pairs being cut now.  10 pairs of the second run spoken for.  25 more pairs of castings should be in my hands in the next 2-3 weeks.  The supply looks to be steady for the near future. 

This is one of those public service announcements, so no pricing discussed here.  I just saw this thread and thought I would share the info.  I have a new dedicated phone number for BBM heads and other parts sales.  423-802- two four seven two.  If I don’t answer it, you can text or leave a message on that number. Best chance to get me is between 8:15 AM and 10:15 AM Central M-F.

Hopefully Mr. Jay won’t deem this post inappropriate.  If we can help you guys, let me know.

Thanks,

BP

That TCI 428501 is a Mopar filter. As seen on the Summit site.
It requires an adapter to mate with the C6 valve body.

TCI website is no help.
For ALL their filter options, they show a generic photo of a GM 4L60E filter kit.

There are 3 different factory filters for the C6.

The early "flat" filter for the passenger car shallow pan.

Slightly deeper filter for the later "Truck deep pan".

Truck 4X4 filter that is basically the same depth as the "Truck deep pan",
except it has a rubber grommet and a small tube extension for the deeper yet 4X4 pan.

The 4X4 "Ford type" filter is what came with my Summit branded deep cast aluminum C6 pan.
I don't know the depth of the TCI pan you have, or if the Ford 4X4 filter would fit.

Interesting.  How would the lack of pushrod oiling lead to loose rockers?

FE Technical Forum / Re: Cometic MLS head gasket misbuilt?
« Last post by Jim Comet on May 03, 2024, 07:56:58 PM »
I got the new Cometic 4.170 gaskets and they clear the cylinder but still shroud the chamber when laid on the head. Would you consider using a fine die grinder on the head gasket to profile it to the cylinder head chamber shape. It only interferes at the 2-3 and 9-10 O'clock areas. The gasket does clear the whole cylinder on the block. Wondering if the gasket protruding into the valve area but clamped by the head on the cylinder would pose a hot spot potential or burn issue?

The lifters have nothing to do with the push rod cup. Lack of oil is the only thing that can cause that.

If someone is desperate for a pair of aluminum heads, I have a pair of BT MR 428 heads, and Survival heads bare that I do not need right now.  I have Pond, Edelbrock, TFS, Survival for my projects.  Joe-JDC
