I havent heard much about them. Ive been told that #5 and #7 are best.
Whats the deal with #6's??
5-6-7 are all good SBO heads. Similar size chambers (all smaller than the chambers on #8s). #6 heads were used on all 1970 SBOs, including the W-31 when fitted with larger valves. Don't know who's telling you not to use #6s, but they're wrong.
