Interesting Cosworth Formula One head design

[Billzilla]

the more i think about the more I can picture it in my head, can't find a picture on intergoogle however.

The rocker pivots in the weird slot.. I gave my copy of RCE with that article in it away almost 10 years ago so its long gone and it did have the pics..

Sounds right.

similar to E46 M3?

Yeah I'm not sure about the rockers being movable. I feel like I read that the gains from variable valve geometry weren't worth the unreliability and more revs gave them the power they wanted s they went all out for rpm.

PS - was a cool thread Bill - sorry I thought I was looking at something more complicated than it was (I thought the valves were much more inboard in the beam - couldn't see the guides). I am not into deleting posts to hide my mistakes but feel free to blow them away.

Hanging my head in shame.

I haven't heard of that one before .... ?
Do you perhaps mean ballistic cams? I don't think so anyway.
