A purely hypothetical question.

Post by Jester666 »

One for you clever engineers to ponder! :lol:

Classic Minis (Not those nasty German things) can be converted to gear driven cams.

Would it be possible to do the same to the 'Storm?

Why am I asking?

1. Because I'm curious,
2. I don't think it's been asked before,
3. I love the sound of gear driven cam engines,
4. It would get rid of the OEM cheese CCT problems.

Discuss! :Beer Popcorn: :lol:

i was thinking the same thing.

the gears would have to be in a cassette box to remove stresses on the engine cases.

the limiting factor is the gear on the crank that drives the chain. if it were a gear to drive another gear it would be great. but its a sprocket.

which sucks
