CF-L Head?

Featured Replies

That appears to be the LY crossflow head made by Nissan to homologate for FIA Group 4. Pretty rare and very expensive.

It's not an LY.

'CF-L' is an acronym for 'Cross Flow-L (series)'. It's basically a single-cam RB head converted to run on an L-gata 'block, with dedicated castings and specially machined components.

Guy who made it ( them ) in Japan has a blog showing the whole process.

( Edit: Sato san's blog is where you found it..... ).

Found this pile of pics: https://www.google.ca/search?q=cf-l+site:sato1511.blog40.fc2.com&num=100&newwindow=1&espv=210&es_sm=122&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=Vg-mUsL-Fq6gsQSd_IG4Bw&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ&biw=1137&bih=527&dpr=0.9

Still trying to figure out how he did it and the details of the required machining and custom parts.

Google translator is a little rough but better than nothing. If I understand correctly he warns people buying new Weber carbs made in Spain to clean and check them carefully before running the engine, he found powdered metal from fabrication (and a missing o-ring?) in them.

The best sentence I got from Google translator was:

"It is also because many Japanese-made English terminology to say write sentences and very hard!"

Yep, that there is the truth...

(But Google's Japanese is way better than mine...)
