helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Pre-war racing engine of some sort. Supercharging banned after the war. CNA maybe?
dangerous Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 ok, heres a pic of a 1/24 scale bike it went into... honestly guys
luhbo Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 In another context I read about a speed record established with such an engine: average speed over 250 km/h. That's somewhat funny if you see a frame typical for that era as on the pic above. Hubert
dangerous Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Guzzi - Quattro Cilindri 500, 1930. yeah mate, a 500/4 well before Soichiro thought of it.
AndyH Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 people... think closer to home, asperation forced is all thats been answered corectly but yeah them there valve springs are hair pins, early 60's decades out Andy.Got me bang to rights there dangerous! Would never have had it down as pre-war though...As I said. Loads of ingenuity on show. Gear drive cam train?

Would never have had it down as pre-war though...As I said. Loads of ingenuity on show. Gear drive cam train? I could only find that the Cozette supercharger was gear driven. Looking at the side cover, I would think the cams, too, but have found no pictures of the motor open to see.
