That sounds like a horrible idea, a great way to lose compression. Maybe they thought it would break in the engines faster?

That was a throw-away joke. It was a field-expedient that probably gained short term but killed the overall ROI.
I was looking for more on the Alex Taub single-valve engine, but can't find much. There is his paper on cylinder bore wear: SAGE Journals: Your gateway to world-class journal research OTOH I found out J. Bowers plagarized a 2009 post on The Automobile and American Life. |

Thanks. Interesting.
A Chrysler Imperial won in 1956? The one with sparrow strainer taillights! |
