So back to topic... Is this plug location what it appears to be? Will it be a non issue, something to be aware of when finalizing the chamber? Am I having optical delusions?
I dont think KRE's or CV's plug placement is quite the same. Seems they are more centrally located and bias the tip toward the exhaust(ok) but still put the tip further away from the heat of the exhaust path(IMO better). Standard E heads arent dual quench like these. Wouldnt want someones plug groundstrap turning into a glow plug.

First off no, I dont think the plug is going to be where you think it is, keep in mind that the plug hole is at an angle and once the chamber is done it will probably be a half to three quarters of an inch up that hole where the plug will be peeking out, I really had no intention of commenting on the plug location until I have the casting in my hands but it appears you are choosing to make a big stink out of this before anyone seems to have gotten that far along with this head casting. I think when people are farther along with this thing, at least as far as having the chamber roughed in, would be the time to bring this up, normally when I have done a head like this with no chamber in it they also dont have a plug hole located and we have done that last trying to get it as close to the center as possible. Im glad that people have decided to continue posting in this thread because it appeared to have been killed for a day or so... I really dont intend to comment anymore about this casting until I have had a chance to get it and spend some time with it.
