VHM cylinder head KTM 65 SX 09-23 / Husqvarna TC 65 17-23 / GasGas MC 65 21-23 + insert H 5.20 cc

HEAD AND INSERT INCLUDED: VHM head AA33112 + insert AE32167-H (combustion chamber 5.20 cc). Once fitted the head is ready to ride, nothing else to buy. Golden VHM two-stroke cylinder head with an exchangeable combustion chamber. It is designed to keep the engine's power throughout the whole race, not just the first laps: the improved water duct takes heat away from the combustion chamber more effectively. Made from a high-quality alloy and sealed with O-rings instead of a conventional gasket. WHAT THE INSERT IS AND WHY YOU NEED IT The VHM head has two parts: the golden cooled body and the chamber fitted into it — the insert. The insert sets the combustion chamber volume, i.e. the compression. Smaller volume = higher compression = more pull, but it needs higher-octane fuel. Larger volume = lower compression = the engine revs out more freely and tolerates pump fuel. When you change fuel, track or elevation you swap only the insert, not the whole head.
