Yeah, I caught that, too. Could be typo, though. The V is fery close to the F and his index vinger might have missed.

It must've been a lot of work to rebuild the crankcase and crankshaft. That would be very expensive. I wish you hadn't started a thread on pet peeves. I have such a long, long list.  |

The Valkyrie engine is a 180 degree V. Or so I'm told.

It is a flat 6 or a boxer motor. There is no V.  |

It is 180 degree but 180 degrees is level. Well at least straight  |

I think because the carbs sit in a "V" that it sometimes gets confused by those who don't know.

Well, since the carbs give the impression the Valk engine is a V, but in fact the engine layout is flat, maybe we should call it an "obtuse" motor. That would seem to cover both aspects of the angles; greater than 90 deg. but less than 180. Big whoops....has to be less than 180 so can't be an obtuse motor, by design anyway.  The definition of obtuse also covers temperament and I definitely have seen a couple of those motors in a Valk. This is getting confusing, think I'll go spend some time with someone I love.....going to go shave.  |

I wonder if it "identifies" itself as a V. That would make it OK.

If it were a small aircraft engine, it would be classified as an "opposed" engine.

Hey... the original Valks are getting old these days. I'd say it's a V with saggy jugs. If you want perky jugs, you have to get a Guzzi.  |

Wonder why some people refer to the 1st Gen. Valks as Goldwings? Could be a pet peeve but since it's at the bottom of a long list.... |
