Piston Head: version 2/3/7 compatible
Cylinder: version 2/3 compatible
Cylinder Head: version 6 specific
Air Seal Nozzle: P90 specific.

Any other parts you need to know?
So what would be the best way to get the p90 silenced (besides dynamat and a silencer)? As I cant use the cylinder head from the version 2/3 silent head kits.
Unfortunately, there isn't much you can buy (as far as I know), besides getting helical gears to suppress gear whine.


Although... I do have schematics and instructions on building your own silent head set. Although this does not work in the sense of a standard silent head set. This works by creating a cylinderhead/nozzle plug that creates a buffer of air against the piston head to suppress the strike.

I have them scanned and online here:

Just keep clicking "next" to get to the next page. There are 5 pages in total.

You don't *really* need to read Japanese to understand it, but it helps if you have very strong pictorial comprehension skills.
I wish I could read Japanese, there could be some things in the text that I'm missing.

I also wish that I had previous as well as following issues of this magazine as this posted article is the second part of a multi-part series on creating a custom silent P90.

Some of the images show some of the changes done in the first part, where they basically roughed up the striking surface of the cylinder head.
