ST G15 RV/RE ABC info wanted please
« on: April 08, 2013, 01:14:44 AM »
Has anyone got any details on this model ST G15
I was under the impression that all the Rear Exhaust engines were X 15's ?
Anyone know anything about them, what year they came out and for how long. Production numbers and performance details.
Cheers John

According to Jim Dunkin's book, it was made in 1972, and was actually the first version of the X15. They cut the G15RV case off above the bypass and bolted on a separate cylinder jacket. By 1973 they had a "proper" one piece case, but the casting featured an unused rectangular front intake boss ala the G15. The 1972 version had the glow plug offset to the front of the engine, and in 1973 it was moved to the center.
