The valves are hemispherically opposed arn't they?. I Know the spark plug isn't in the middle.

[Blown 331]

The spark plug is in the middle of the 4 valves and the entire chamber is rounded, no flat side of the chamber that creates a squish area like a 350 Chevy or 302 Ford.

Hemi (from "hemisphere") is a design of internal-combustion engines in which the cylinder head's combustion chamber is of hemispherical form. The chamber design puts the intake/exhaust valves in-line, rather than side-by-side, allowing for better flow of air through the head. The spark plug in the center of the chamber makes for better ignition of the fuel/air mixture. These aspects help make the hemi-type engine more efficient and powerful.

That's what I meant too. On an RFVC the plug is in the middle of the valves.
Im out of here for the day but I'll check what you guys have to say in the morning but I still say an RFVC is a hemi head.

I guess I was wrong. You were right; I was just thinking a deeper dish like the 426. Sorry wicked.
