- Yes, I think there was a discussion about air-cooled vs liquid-cooled engines on this list some time ago. Basically, an air-cooled engine has more severe limitations on power output than a liquid-co

- Sounds awesome but I'll bet it was a configuration based on compromise rather than what would have been better. Water-cooling cylinder barrels is not very difficult-- just place a larger cylindrical

- Speaking of Vmax. And motorcycle motors in cars. And streamliners with snow mobile motors. Has anbody played with a big, two stroke outboard motor in a lakester or streamliner? It just seems that som

- I was under the impression (probably incorrectly), that 2-strokes lose their "advantage" over 750cc or so (I know nothing about 2-strokes). I have no knowledge of outboards ... what size do they go u

- Hmmmm, 750 / 2 = 375 cc per cyl. x 8 = a pretty nice 3L motor. Now can we get 3 HP per CID? their wire-scrubbed time's

- like I said, the figures they give for the outboards are surprisingly puny. for $1000 (or so), you can get a low-milage salvage liter-bike engine-- half the displacement-- with 140 (or more) HP, STO
