Raider Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 I was going to reply along the lines of 6 cyl, 4 cyl - who cares :PThen I thought, you are right Mr B - my 4 cylinder especially with the sports exhaust seems a bit "gruff".I suspect a 16 valve unit tho would sound different again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTRoger Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 16 valves on Webers............ HMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;DThough can't beat Triumphs sixpot, because it's the best sounding engine EVER!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don cook1 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I turned right at Calais a couple of years ago and drove to Poland...not as fanciful as you might think! Poland = very cheap, very depressing but oh that waitress at Club 22... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I've got to go to Poland soon - think I'll fly...My special bearings are coming tomorrow! Hurrah! Engine will be build ASAP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Got my bearings today!Worth the wait? I think so! Totally surprised too - as I was expecting machined Mini ones - instead I've got the real thing because I waited so patiently. An original set of Vandervel VP2s - rare as hens teeth or what!?You won't be able to get another set of these - but can highly recommend Dermot McGivern at Power 4 Peanuts in Walton-on-Thames - a super old chap.
