New Project

[Paul Slootheer]

As allways, plans have altered… initialy I planned to build a VG. But I changed my mind, it will be 1953 VB! Sunday evening Roger, on his way back to England from the Christmas Diner in Germany, dropped a VB engine at my place. It came from a club member from the north of England. Many thanks Roger!!

Can't beat a good sidevalve great on the hill in south holland

They have their OWN charm and need an exhaust valve made of top metal and the valve clearance adjusted to suit. Run it up a hill with the cover off and see that there is always some clearance. Ex valves get hotter than with OHV motors and Pipes go more blue. Don't have too much restriction in the silencer. Nev

Yes I agree, allways regret that I have sold my first trusty 1933 557cc model VA.

This is so beautifully written that I almost believe it.
