"YES former clubman light driver Mark Head"

"i second that karl, that is a komet K55 "

"100cc, looks to me that its an early PCR resa engine. quicker than the yamaha and the ignition system looks to be a german copy of the spanish motoplat."

"i get my header pipes and mufflers hot tanked at an engine recoing joint"

"im keen on the TT27 and the purple swiss hutless slide carby, do any of the parilla rotarys have cranks?"

"those parilla rotarys, what models are they?"

"i started racing in 2009 when i was 17 years old, my late father John raced 36 odd years ago. back in the days of nerf bars, no side pods, men were men back then. he started racing in 1976 and knew nothing about karts, he learned by doing everything…"

"well i found some parilla gaskets on ebay and i won em, i also had a reply from john pizarro on my facebook page ( http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mark-Head-Engineering/115314028571527 ) about making gaskets. well i havent had a chance to do so yet…"

"your right about the "pineapple" shape as its been around since the 60's but power wise? over 30 HP and 19,000 RPM or more!! these italian engines rev HARD, is this engine still for sale or not? "

"engines such as the parilla SS20, SS31 DAP T70, T71, T80 and some komets just to name a few had pistons with windows in em"

"another twin right hand engine setup"

"formula super a spec"

"im liking the twin rotary setup, alot of people spent the time modifying rotary valve engines for 200 super back in the old days"

"how can i check that? (dumb question i know) dads good mate jack thomas did the parilla crank for him, jack did all of dads cranks during his racing days, dad always used gaskets with the case halfs "

"K29s looked the same but crankwise they were different"

"check the big end clearance. maybe you have too much there should be enough to set the end float without a gasket."
