You never know what the weather is going to do rebuilding a car here.

Yes, 2a with the petrol. It’s an amazingly quiet engine, but I suppose it should be. Sold it to Germany for £6k just before they went silly money as I was broke.Not entirely obvious, but a series 2 petrol?
Have a hankering for an old Landie, I know of a SIII SWB which has been fitted with the 2.6 straight 6, with a Westlake head from the Rover 110 and overdrive which is a lovely balance of grunt and pace, the current owner has always given me first refusal but every time I ask he's not ready to sell - fingers crossed one day
That engine was an option. It’s an IOE View attachment 100021
Good grief! How have I got to this age and never seen the head off an IOE before? What a weird setup...
lovely trip to holmfirth yesterday so my mate could collect his teenage dream car.

Me too!Having just had a birthday I find it quite worrying that that’s your mate’s teenage dream car, I’ve got shoes older than that!!
It makes a bit more sense when you look at it as a development of early IOE engines when the exhaust was cam operated but the inlet purely worked on suction from the engine.
yep, I get that, I thought it was only really used in agricultural stuff, water pumps and the likes. I hadn’t realised it was an efficient engine for cars.
It’s a bit like the two-stroke diesels! They are daft but blinking efficient! Loads on big American trucks, trains and the likes.
Intake over exhaust... a weird engine configuration...What's IOE?
