ST60 K series

[Martin Quartim]

Hi

what is the story behind the ST 60 lite case "K" series, I mean why it was called "K" ?

I know about the pdp ports and that it had better metallurgy and it was stronger. But why it was called ST 60K series?

Thx,

Martin

Cause So .

K =  thousand . - mellenium ? some know the ' V ' as  " victory " . !

The COMO is a G40 / 46 / 51 derivative . 3 window , p.d.p. , concave head .

THEN came the ' K - 60 !



The 3 window looses the sup piston induction . The 4 window p.d.p. has a angled lower edge to a window , to do the same . So these may be the more powerfull , & the 3 window the more economical .

Appears the concave head , from about 1981, was introduced across the range ' S ' Schneurle 40  etc . So just jazzing them up . Tho Id think theyed notice what the Stunt Ace Tuners were up to .
With remaks about excess head fins / cooling . Perhaps .

In Italian, the letter "K" (represented as "kappa") is not part of the standard alphabet, but it's used in text and internet slang as a replacement for the "ch" or "c" sound, similar to how "k" replaces "ch" in English. It's also used in foreign words or acronyms that haven't been fully assimilated into Italian.
Examples:
"ke noia" = "che noia" (meaning "what a bore"), "kikka" = "chicca" (meaning "treat" or "specialty"), and "kimica" = "chimica" (meaning "chemistry").
In essence, "K" is used in Italian to make it easier for non-native speakers to write and read Italian, especially in informal settings like texting or online communication.

At least some of the ST .60 tuners blocked off the PDP ports in the block of the K model with JB Weld. Otherwise, the fuel consumption was said to be awful, from what I remember. The "lite case" referred to ST .60bb's before the muffler lugs and thick wall liner, and never the K model.   

I've had two ST .60's pass through my hands, one an early case T&L and the other was a K model, IIRC. That one was done by Big Jim Greenaway. I sold both to Milton Graham (aka Darkstar1).  Steve
