how it used to work on flathead Fords, etc,
The O H V is just a passing phase . the side Valve will return .
or
Save your confederate money, boys, the South will rise again! |
Actually , the side valve is much derided . Met a type who said 27 mpg ( imperial , 21.6 US
) 600 mile trip .
Ford ' House ' ( 1947 Sedan ).
These Olde Cowes wernt a total disaster . Some Said 155 with a Tail wind . ( With fairing ) . Cal's camera bike in O A Sunday was a S V ,
incedently , from the horses mouth , the fatal Suzuki Seizure was from F'ing with methanol , against the advice of the locals .
A Side Valves power charateristics might be highly usefull for F2B , FLAT Tourque Curve .
37 60 horse is only one that appoaches THAT ! .

PS , if it trys to take your fingers off , it might be to high . 21/40 on 20 % N , 11 x 4 , youd come home with your fingers raw .
A determined belt was fine . With C'Case Pressure a 9 mm ( Combat Intake ) was fine . Sounded superbe , & on the Std. 46 intake,
suction .
If its always kicking back presumeably the plugs to hot or CR / Nitro to high . 20 % will suck the juice but the Tourque & output is impressive
A few hot shots in the antipodes dont mind 20 % , say it cools it better ? . Certainly nitro makes for less critical needling, on peasant engines .
