Could this work on a Type VI and improve mpg ? Looks promising.
Königsegg says this technology will be applied on every engine in 10 years... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bch5B23_pu0 |

I dunno, Mark, I had that same car and that modified OHC engine is a lot shorter than stock. I'm thinking that assembly isn't much taller than an OHV configuration, so might well fit. I can't see anyone making that kind of a cylinder head for a 40 year old car that's no longer produced anywhere in any form, but I don't think size would be the main reason.
You know what else is interesting is that without camshafts you could easily "cluster" cylinders any way you like, creating boxers, spirals, radials, narrow "V"s or whatever shape/size is needed to fit in you allotted space. No cam chains or belts, anywhere a rod could reach a crank would be fine. |
