Rotating head cap??

[Atomicdog]

Can I rotate my cylinder slant fire head cap 90 degrees on my RAW 66cc motor with no problems to engine performance??

90? Do you mean 180?

90 and 180 does it make a difference?
just curious because the cap is flat only the plug fires in different angle if i rotate say 90/180/Just curious if it would work.

I rotated the whole head 180 because i dont like the routing of my exhaust on my electra cruiser.
I mounted my moter towards the seat post and fabed a front bracket to keep my chain shorter but sacrificed clearance on my exhaust to the pedals being in the way.
Long story short I F@#$ed up my pipe trying to bend it and went another direction.

I'd go 180... as opposed to 90. At 180... the fins on the head are still lined up for proper cooling. Other members have run the head at 180 without serious issue.

i see why u said 90 but to me it look like it on wrong now the fin shold run front to back not side to side

It will work like that without too much trouble. The fins will still carry off heat despite their being cross to the airflow. There will be airflow no matter what. You might need a 1 step colder plug but that's the only drawback I can see.

You can always fabricate an air-ram scoop to direct more air to the head.
