Help Needed Guys......

Wasn't that the Coventry Climax engine later used by Cooper and Lotus?
I suppose all engines by definition are stationary in their natural state!

 

Right.

 

Talking of stationery engines, I just love this one.


Btw, if you don't know of Jay Leno's garage, check it out on youtube, Jay has a fantastic collection of classic bikes and cars, and is particularly fond of early Bonnies. And he really knows his stuff, his channel is a real education.

 

I know Rich, I cannot believe the amount of stuff he has in that garage. Great range - the guy has impeccable taste! I would hate to have to pay his insurance bill though - bet he' s not with Bennett's multi bike policy!

 

My wife's Hillman Imp was always stationery. BPOS!

 

She must have gone to the same Uni as mine.

Yes you're right - I hope the problems don't overcome the project though. I guess there will be big issues such as weight to support the engine in the frame, the damping of the vibration and the transfer of power to the rear wheel. Makes my head spin! Hope he does find the time to do it though.

 

They all went to that college and passed with First Class Honours!

 

Yeah the Lister probably isn't the smallest - I'm sure they have featured a smaller one but any of them will be heavy. Don't Harleys run on coal or wood so you could be half way there!
