Title: Rotary Valve head for grey motor Post by: 87 velo on March 06, 2011, 11:32:44 AM (http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n515/velo87/Grey%20motor%20head%20rotary%20valve/IMG_1468.jpg)Had heard that we had one of these at work so I went looking, took a couple of months to find, but here it is. This one is off a hydroplane, I'd say 90% of it is there, but there is a piece missing that goes between the rotary valve and the head missing, will try and assemble when time permits. Still have the induction system it has 6 Amal (motorcycle) carbs attached. A nice piece of Aussie ingenuity

Will Cheers Mick Title: Re: Rotary Valve head for grey motor Post by: jcoun2 on July 02, 2013, 07:06:44 PM Hi mate I was wondering if you still had the head lying around I'm a bit of a backyard machinist and I'm looking for a new project And I have always wanted to replicate one of these heads and test it on a motor and see what I can do with it
So my question is would you be able to get some measurements off the head or sell me the head so that I can get all of the measurements off it myself and make a replica I need the measurements for the internals, the intake and exhaust ports. Basically any of the measurements that I can get off the engine block Cheers jordyn :) Title: Re: Rotary Valve head for grey motor Post by: THOMMO_2 on July 04, 2013, 03:49:44 PM More importantly, where is this old Hydroplane?
