moregrip, for your intended purpose you have nothing to fear with using the 194 head. Sure it might not give the engine all it can, but what really pisses me off if when people try to convince others something is better than something else based on urban legend or just bad info instead of facts. And that is what happens everytime this topic comes up. You have people that are never going to accept 50 years of fact and truth by professionals. And if someone wants to try to run one simply because they can thats fine. But know the facts and see if after you know them you still think the same way. If you do thats also fine as well. But that is what forums are for, to share and give solid advice so those that might not be as knowledgeable can make good choices and be pleased with the choices they do make. Good luck, and don't let this get you down. Make sure you continue to share your progress with us as you complete your build.
