A 12mm 3/4 reach spark plug is far superior when dissipating heat. There is more surface area on a long reach spark plug to dissipate the heat. 12mm 3/4 spark plug also has much less chance of stripping the spark plug hole threads because the threads are 3/4 inch long instead of only 1/2 inch. 12mm spark plug holes are further away from the valve seats and reduce the chance of cracking from the spark plug to the valve. Stock combustion cambers have square corners around spark plug hole. Having a sharp corner creates more heat from the plug to the valve seat and increase the chance of cracking. True performance heads have the spark plug hole that is smooth and contoured to reduce hot spot. I could sell you a cylinder head with stock chambers and big valves but it would be doing you a disservice. Technology has changed and a smaller long reach plug has always been the racers choice. Stock original cylinder heads only come with 35×32 valves. These cylinder heads come larger 40mm x 35mm valves for increase performance. The combustion chambers have redesigned for increased efficiency. They are stock bore (85.5) for 1500cc, 1600cc, 1641cc, 1679cc. It will fit 83mm pistons, 85.5mm, 87mm and 88 slip in barrels.
