Plymouth...

Pontiac... I had one of those OHC sixes.

Oldsmobile...

Checker...

And Ford...

And Caddy...

What, no Buick OHCs?

Didn't Buick have some V-6 Indy motors? Those almost had to be OHC.

Not that I'm aware of but that doesn't mean they didn't. GM sold the Buick 215 V-8 to Rover, and Repco used that Rover block to build the Repco-Brabham 3 liter OHC Formula one engines. that's the only connection I know of.

Aside: When I inquired about the OHC engine at Pontiac while awaiting delivery, they sent me the ASE report on it. 23 pages of background, lab testing with graphs and charts, and testing the engine in the desert and arctic pre-production. Being a hoarder, I've still got it. :blush:

edit: It cost them 40 cents to mail it in March of 1966.

Oh Noes...

what makes those sparks? It's obviously not good, but is it an entire head blowing off, or something?

That's liquid lit by the fireball of the explosion.

Could be a head. More likely it was a turbo or supercharger explosion. Hence the hood about to say good-bye.

Maybe.

The other day I learned that Antarctica has a fire department:

Please to notice there are no hoses, or water handling provisions. Because Antarctica.

My buddy got a Lambourghini. I took some pics.

Man, they're a lot smaller in person than they look in photos:
