Thanks, xb. That sounds pretty much like what I remember. I also remember him telling me that he found some info in an Italian book on camshaft design that he thought everyone else had missed, and that he used in the design of his cams. It might have been that flat top he left on his cam lobes. I remember him telling me that it "let the valve springs rest." I never did get the name of the book. He was quite the guy. I also recall sitting around with him and Mike and sipping booze out of coffee cups after work, and talking to him about everything from .22 pistol shooting to bicycle riding. Mike also had some pretty good stories from his racing days, if you could get him talking, but the subjects were a lot less respectable.

Great i bet you will love the book.
Lots of great hands on info from two battle proved ferrari and fiat engineers.
Besides it had the equation for real gas speed (the one with coeff of flow) already in it long before others woke up to it.

kind regards from italy
