Title: Example of twin DCOEs on a wedge-head
Post by: jbcollier on Wednesday,March 05, 2025, 03:18:40 PM

Before this, I have only seen period dual DCOEs on a wedge-head in a magazine article.  Be interesting to know its history.

At least they are not trying to turn over the engine using the pulley retaining nut !!

This is as much as seems to be known:  https://www.ebay.com/itm/286382974027 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/286382974027)

Parked since 1981!  That's been a while.  I wonder if it "ran when parked?"

I like the chrome copper tubing used for cooling pipes. Quite spiffy!!
