Why - oil boiler! Hence Gods own engine design! smileystick

BOTH oil boilers - ie street engines - cheaper and weaker alternative to the real thing , suitable to lairy streetbikes and bracket racing - great simple engines , a lightweight version of the real thing

But as regard your next comment i've yet to see a 'real thing' street motor make the power that the lightweight versions do. And as regard cheaper / weaker, neither is cheap at 'proper' power levels but IMO the Oiler is stronger as stock particularly crankwise.

Any engine without water in it is ok in my book.

It goes back years ! I fully deserve it as this is the first time I have used a oily boily in a muscle bike- Plenty of built air cooled street bikes make the numbers that destroy the cranks in the later engines- Agreed to get AC to big numbers takes money and skill - The oily,s are a great substitute if money is a consideration - Ian- feel free to show me a competetive funnybike or pro mod with a oil cooled motor - ..........

Indeed it does my friend I fully acknowledge the AC domination in most drag bike Pro classes but till those pesky Busa's started going quick, Outlaw and Gudge bikes used GSXR's to great effect. But as I did say Street and Stock bottom end I stand by my statement. A pressed together crank - unless reworked - can't turn the rpm's compared to an oiler. In one of the old TurboBike mags there was a ProMod using a turbo GSXR to 400hp if I remember and that was 25-30 years ago, a bit more than mine and Kev's Bandit has turned 300+ and on a stock crank. Anyway its all subjective - real question is 'how fast can you afford to go?' Always enjoy the banter - long live our differences!
