It sounds interesting —— but the link gets redirected to 403 Forbidden. So I thought I wouldn't get frustrated and did a search of Google of "inurl:EPG PART IV.pdf" and found it available at findthatpdf.com and ebookbrowse.com. They all get 403 Forbidden.

That sounds like what I was looking for.

There's a market for air-cooled VW big-valve heads for racing. I think someone should market a replacement head with electric desmodromic valves and a small turbo right in the head. It could all fit where the pushrod tubes are now and bring that boxer 4 right up to date.

*OTOH a GIS on "coanda nozzle" gets results, so I'm off to learn.
