It's a pneumatic valvetrain for a F1 engine - 18,000rpm. I was joking about the the cheap part :D

Thanks Don.... I can see it now..... Before I saw this pic I was thinking it was some type of valve actuator that was controlled by a computor that required no camshaft.

So this replaces the valve springs and all thier built in potential problems....
18,000 RPM...... Somehow I doubt many bracket racers need those sort of engine speeds....might be bad if ya missed a shift ! Hhehee.... Intresting concept tho....

Do you know much about thses ?
