Old racing BMW's are so full of WIN it's actually spilling out on to the floor around them.

hmm, tried doing a wee search there, the triflux sounds interesting but not a lot of info available it seems... BMWs version is called apfelbeck, lancia was a triflux. the idea is that its a radial valve layout. it has four valves but in a diamond configuration not a square layout like a normal 4v head. the two in the middle are inlets and the two outermost valves are exhaust giving the v8 style header look to an inline four engine. lancia used it on some ridiculous rally engine IIRC which came much later. heres a quick schematic to get your head round- www.coco-doc.de/goingo/cocdoc/Apfelbeck-Tuning/Apfelbeck-Tuning/Html-Seiten/brennraum012-Dateien/image001.jpg sounds like this- www.02-club.de/technik/motor/radial.mp3sorry, O/T over and out |

So going by that drawing its a way of getting an almost true Hemi combustion chamber but with four valves. Cool! |
