[QUOTE="Tom Gaynor, post: 3297, member: 4034"] [b]PCV's engine[/b] I remember the motor described in the series of articles "Tales of the Snarling Beast" PCV wrote for Motorcycle Sport. I don't remember understanding how it worked, only that it was made largely from ceramics. I kept the magazines for years before an untimely flood moulded my archives solid. The TOTSB articles are part of the book currently soliciting orders as "100 Years of PCV", and published I think by, or with the involvement of, Roy Harper. Serious money seems to be involved. The Mitchell Library in Glasgow had complete sets of Motorcycling and Motor Cycle on microfilm, because that's what libraries do. A friend used to present me with articles of interest he'd browsed free (if you don't pay taxes) - like the contemporary road tests - so it might be worth looking around to see if any library did the same for MCS.
