Complex and unreliable in one package. The BRM H16 was even more complicated and less reliable too! I've recently seen a Veyron engine and transmission out of the car and that's more than a 5 minute job to disassemble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominique355 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I would mention the Coventry-Climax H16. Yes, H 16. It basically had two 180 degrees 8 cylinders one on top the other. Total displacement was 3,000 ccm. Formula 1 in 1966, but too complicated to run reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG I've come over all nostalgic Back in the day my absolute favorite car was my Sunbeam Stiletto, brilliant little car with aluminum engine and twin carbs that would clock 100mph. Slight problem was it always ran hot and I managed to blow a couple of engines in the time that I had it. Absolutely loved that car. Picture is from the Internet, but mine was exactly like that, same color and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancashirelad Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Yes I thought I'd seen that pic before ;-) Of course a Sunbean Stiletto was just a blinged up/sporty Imp, but quite a nice motor nice in the day....... so long as you only wanted to drive in a straight line ;-) Anyway, back on topic, I love that Deltic train engine above.

Heard one on the 'demo' lap at the Isle of Man T.T. one year. Back in the day owned a CBX 1000/6 with a pretty much open lazer exhaust. Great sound, happy days.

Detroit Diesel 8V92T. Great motor, and a unique exhaust note. They went like shit off a stick. This is a really bad photo, but it's an old print I scanned.
