Bad weather has caused us to be ashore for a while so the CAD has taken a bashing, not a lot is left of the original design
The cylinders are longer --stroke shorter-- crank case larger--The heads have had a total rethink--cylinders are now of steel rather than iron liners in alloy cylinders --oil pumps are now Co Axial driven of no1 accessory shaft.-- we now have tensioners for the cam belts.
etc--etc.
For the ignition it looks like individual hall triggers on each cam with small coils from the scrap yard ( on plug type modified to mount remotely).
When I start the build I will follow Colin Chapmans (Lotus) advice --Remove weight and Add lightness.
Working drawings now need to be done for each component so that just may take a while.
