How Many Valves Per Cylinder (Revised) – 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Or 8? with Illustrations and a P.S
DST 20 February 2015. P.1 of 13 How many valves per cylinder (revised) – 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 8? With illustrations and a P.S. on 6 Since 1993 all Formula 1 engine designers have chosen 4 poppet valves per cylinder (2 inlet, 2 exhaust). In 2006 this layout was actually specified in the FIA regulations and the new 2014 rules continue it. Keith Duckworth, who created in 1966 a cylinder head having 4 valves per cylinder (4 v/c) opposed at a relatively narrow angle and combined them with port geometry and increased valve Lift/Diameter ratio to create in-cylinder “Barrel Turbulence” (aka “Tumble Swirl”) to raise combustion efficiency, set a benchmark to which, in time, all competitors conformed and which spread far outside the racing arena. In most of the past century this unanimity on 4 v/c did not exist. Racing 4-stroke piston engines were built with 2, 3, 4, 5, and 8 poppet valves per cylinder. This article follows the title subject generally from the series of 85 “Grand Prix Cars-of-the-Year”, 1906 – 2000, listed in this web site . Specifically this admits only 2, 3, and 4 valves per cylinder so, for general interest, substantial diversions have been included to other racing engines with a wider variety of arrangements In future references to “valve gear” it is to be understood that it refers to poppet valves opened by cams, directly or indirectly, and closed by steel springs forcing them to ride on the cam, unless otherwise mentioned (Desmodromic gear in Mercedes 1954-1955 (DVRS) and Pneumatic Valve Return Systems (PVRS) post-1990). -

Paul Ivey started his career as an apprentice at Downton Engineering and went from strength to strength from then on. He has been involved quite extensively with the development of the Cooper ‘S’, Jaguars and the Twin Cam Lotus engines of the time. Eventually this led him to the decision of starting up a special tuning parts business supplying valves to the fast growing car market. Inevitably this brought Race Engine Components and G&S Valves, the specialised engine valve manufacturer, together. They jointly formed a partnership in the early 80’s and together have developed many valve designs and associated parts including valves, retainers and collets suitable for the new breed of high revving racing engines that rev to speeds in excess of 16,000 rpm. G&S Valves Ltd. has itself serviced the race car and bike industry for over 65 years and together their valves have won at all levels of motor sport including F1, Sports Car, Le Mans, Indy Car, The TT, the World Super Sport 600 Class and many Club Level Championship Races.

Panoz Motor Sport History
Panoz Motor Sport History Don Panoz founded the Panoz Motor Sport Group in 1997, laying the groundwork for nearly two decades of highly successful international endurance sports car and open-wheel racing efforts. It began when Panoz commissioned and campaigned the Panoz Esperante GTR-1, the first successful front- engine prototype race car in more than 30 years of racing. The Panoz GTR-1 with its 6.0-liter Ford-based V8 engine competed in international endurance racing in various forms – including the first modern hybrid race car – from 1997 to 2003. From 1997 to 2002 Panoz Le Mans prototype race cars won eight endurance sports car championship races. The Panoz Motor Sport Group also fielded successful teams racing the Panoz Esperante GTLM, a racing version of the Panoz Esperante GTLM two-seat sports car. Built specifically to compete in the GT2 class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS), it featured a naturally aspirated stock Ford V8 block bored to 5.0 liters with custom crank, rods, pistons, and a heavily massaged intake manifold and produced about 500 horsepower. On April 17, 2005 Panoz scored its first win with the new car when the No. 50 Panoz Esperante GTLM piloted by Bill Auberlen and Robin Liddell beat the Porsche 911 of Timo Bernhard and Romain Dumas in the No. 23 Alex In 2006 the Panoz Job Racing Porsche 911 GT3. This ended the seven- Motor Sports race Porsche win streak that began at Infineon Raceway Group won the in 2004. GT2 class at the Mobil 1 Twelve Success continued in 2006 when the No.
