ps. a friend of mine did some vintage racing in a couple of Lotus products,
including open wheelers.  Could of his cars had the Coventry Climax
engines.  With modern rebuilds, they were winding those little suckers up to
9000 rpm!!  From what I've read of those engines, they had pretty humble
beginnings, first being developed as a little farm work engine, mostly used
to pump water way back.  You've come a long way baby. hee hee.
