'Variomatic' IIRC, horrible indeed, the 750cc flat-twin engines sounded worse than the old VW bug.

Yes they were belt driven but CVT is the magic answer. Technical boffins will remember that the twin belt drive also acted as a non slip diff.

Later ones were 1300 in-line 4

Jan De Rooy used mid engine Ford BDA and 4WD but still belt driven CVT. The engine sat transverly "in the passenger seat"

Here's a DAF Techno F3 car (had to Google to get this)

Williams F1 also experimented with DAF CVT in F1 cars in early 90's. Worked so well that F1 banned CVT in 1994

Then that would be FVH? Although technically an FVA does have 4-valves per cylinder as for that matter does a BDA

The answer is more colloquial than absolute.

OK next question for Ford fans what do the following mean for their series of 4-cylinder rally and race engines.

TC

BDA

FVA

Ace no Googling!

First one is easy , second sort of, the third?

BDA = belt driven cams 4 valve

TC = Twin Cam 2 valve

FVA = Gear driven cams 4 valve

Woodsie,

Again technically correct but they are easier colloquialisms or commonly used expressions to explain them.

OK lets make it a little better

If TC stands for Twin Cam what do....... stand for.
