drain hole for sparkplug? ct scan view

[David Nichols]

I looked up CT Scan right after I asked. That's very interesting. How did you get access to a scanner? I actually know about 3D CAD modeling since it's what I do for a living. I use both Pro/Engineer and CATIA. So what was the result of your test? ________________________________ From: Darren Clark To: David Nichols Cc: "DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com" DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Friday, September 2, 2011 7:40 PM Subject: Re: [DSN_KLR650] Drain hole for sparkplug? CT Scan view Yes and no, it's a CT scan of a KLR650 head. The data from the CT scan can be turned into a CAD model, but right now it's just voxel (a pixel is a point in 2D space, a voxel is a volume in 3D space) data set, and it's about 1.5GB in size. I did this a few years ago to see what can be done with the stock head to improve performance, and if there was enough meat in some areas to do any porting.
