I wonder why our forum member "T head" has not noticed that the engine is in fact a T head engine.

I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.

2manycars.....You are close and it is similar but I think it would be called a horizontally opposed overhead valve engine. We maintain a 16-valve Duesenberg racing car that has a similar engine which you can see in the main photo above. If you are interested in learning more, check todays posts on The Frayer-Miller on our site where there is more information along with a link to this neat Duesenberg.

A T-Head has vertical side valves like a Model A but has one on each side of the engine like you can see in the drawing of a T-Head Mercer engine below.

A T-head could be described as dual underhead cam...

The first self propelled leaf blower/vacuum was a boon to all but the hapless operators, who, without the benefit of any bag or collection system, were forced to endure a near constant and violent blast of nature’s detritus while underway.

They were certain the time machine would work as the vehicle was able to achieve the necessary 88 miles per hour.

However, the brothers were killed trying to trade Libyans a shoddy bomb casing filled with pinball machine parts for plutonium.
