  1. Back during WW2, Rolls-Royce and Ricardo developed the Merlin and Griffon engines using V twin and single cylinder test mules. Merlins were known to throw con rods at high revs. But the test mules never did. It was eventually realised the test V-twins used the full size oil pump - no worries. The pump was too small to feed the V12. Bigger oil pump and no more thrown con rods.

  2. What are Cosworth doing about electronic cams? Are they working with Konisegg to get them into public use? Or is it now all too late?
