I can't seem to find anyone who has used the squishies in a type 4. There have been numerous type 1 applications. I know that Jake tried them without much success but that sounds like it was a cam related issue.
One big thing that keeps the type 4 from being a modern 2-valve pushrod engine is the chamber design. It would seem that the super squish piston, if it works as advertised, would address that. I'd love to have an engine that runs on 87 octane California gas but reliably makes 1HP per cubic inch in a daily driver. |

I could be wrong... but I don't think Jake tried them on the T4 on purpose.
I believe he was not willing to sign the agreement that John (aircooled.net) wanted signed as to not copying the design. Not that Jake would outright copy the design, but I believe the wording was just too vague and would interfere with him experimenting with any domed type piston. Like I said I could be wrong, but I think that was at least part of the issue. Maybe try a search over on the STF. |
