Subject: Head design

I am very impressed by this motor, it is an obvious design, with great advantages. I am curious as an old person, I have worked on side valves before, and I am surprised by how shallow the head is, there appears to be little room for a combustion chamber, or is it let in to the cylinder block somehow? The efficiency of side valve motors combined with their low rpm power makes them ideal for aircraft, having the valves unable to drop into the bore in the event of failure is also good. We are all aware of the Pietenpol Model A engine, this seems to be a space age improvement.
I would like to know the price. and I would like to see the head design.
