Flat 4 1486cc. 52bhp. Produced 1947 - 1954. Early engines had hydraulic cam followers though this was deleted on later versions, officially due to noise though there was also the fact that people would not change their oil frequently enough and the things clogged up. The trick now is to set the valve rocker gap to nearly zero to take account of crankcase expansion. It was not a trouble free engine. Head gasket failures were frequent because the studs did not go very far into the block and thermal expansion allowed the wet liners to move. On early engines the crankshaft was prone to breakage. Partly due to the web machining and partly due to torsion from the flywheel which in production was heavier than the designer had specified. Also found in the Jowett Jupiter sports car when it was fitted with higher compression pistons - the gasket problem having been mostly cured. Even all this does not detract from what most people consider to be a fabulous sporting saloon.
Riverside steam ralley
Over 20 full sized steam engines will be colouring the Riverside pastures on this fine April 27th 2014 weekend, including the only surviving Foden-built Showman's engine 'Prospector'. Steam fans will be thrilled with the authentic results and attention to detail our full-size and miniature engine owners uphold.

Something different to see at Horsted Keynes station, a pause in our trip on the Bluebell Railway. We had not expected traction engines and steam rollers as well.
Fowler (Midland) 0-6-0 43924 approaches Oxenhope Station on the Keighley & Worth Valley line in Yorkshire. This was the first engine to be rescued from Barry Scrapyard in 1968 and is now in regular service on the railway.

Owned by the South Peace Centennial Museum, this is the oldest engine in our collection. Very few of this small, early model were produced. It came to Heisler AB in 1912 & to the Spirit River/Woking area in 1922 where it was used for threshing & to power a sawmill until the late 1930s. In 1964 it was purchased by Fred Tveter & Arnold Christianson who took it to Valhalla & restored it. In 1967 it moved to the McLean farm near Beaverlodge to form the basis of the first Pioneer Day which led to the establishment of the South Peace Centennial Museum. It was last used in 1998 as the 1999 testing confirmed the boiler unsafe for further operation. The engine is complete & authentic in all detail & the SPCM hopes to eventually raise the $55,000 needed to replace the boiler.
The main reason Luis came to the auto show was to ogle the Subaru BRZ. Thankfully, he not only got to check it out, but he got to sit in it as well and check under the hood. Needless to say, he was very impressed. The next day, Shadow's (his Subaru WRX) radiator went kaput. I think Shadow is jealous.

The San Francisco Fire Department lost two of its members from Engine Company 26, who were both critically injured during an explosion while bravely fighting a house fire in the Diamond Heights neighborhood on June 2, 2011. Both died at the hospital as a result of their injuries after all rescussitative measures were taken by the Emergency Trauma staff at San Francisco General Hospital.
Days later firefighters from around California and around the country gathered to pay their respects during a funeral service.
Several Units from Los Angeles Fire Department were on hand to support San francisco in their loss. These included 3 new KME Pumpers, Engines 56, 94 and 96, a Ford E250 Passenger van and Field Mobile Mechanic 1 on a Ford F350 chassis.
This unusual steam shunting engine does not have a fire box.It was used by Proctor and Gamble in a volatile environment.The engine has an extra large boiler which would give a couple of hours of running when it was charged from an external steam supply.
It now stands in a field off the A426 in Blaby Leicestershire.

I've another shot of the Mondeo's engine bay in my photostream that has been referred to and linked over 1150 times by Ford or/and Mondeo forums for pointing out details on the engine so i thought i'd post some more detailed ones.
At the time of this photograph the engine has done 310000 miles and has never been steam cleaned.

GL1500
A rat bike Gold Wing at Laconia Bike Week1988 brought the most changes ever to the Gold Wing. The GL1500 completely outclassed all competition to such a degree that Suzuki (Cavalcade), and Yamaha (Venture XII) abandoned the market segment. Kawasaki was the only competition that remained with the Voyager, until it too was discontinued in 2004. The biggest difference was that the flat-4 engine was replaced with a 1520cc flat-6 engine, though it was still carbureted, Honda did introduce solid state digital ignition. This both increased power, and reduced noise. Honda also enclosed the entire motorcycle in plastic, giving it a seamless appearance.
One major innovation was the addition of a "reverse gear". Because of the size and weight, it was felt that some people would have problems backing it up.
During the first year, only one model was available. In 1990 Honda introduced the SE, which was essentially a cosmetic improvement including things like two-tone paint, a trunk spoiler and some others. In later years more features were added to the SE after criticism that the price premium brought little more than window dressing. In 1990 the Interstate was brought back as a more budget-conscious model.
