Subject:Lilley engine - specs
From:Chris S.

Do you folks remember the great mythical Lilley engine that
outruns Subaru-converted Vanagons and leaps small Porsches in a
single bound?

I saved the specs Robert Lilley emailed me and cherished them
for a long time, but a hard drive crash denied me the .pst file
with my emails so now they are lost.  Does any one have those
specs handy?  Robert, are you listening?

I have been saving a 2.1L WBX I bought from Matthew Pollard for
a while, and it looks like I'll finally be able to tear it down
and begin the rebuild process soon (August) with some mild
modifications inspired by "Lilley-spec".  I'll document to
process in pics, of course and share them with you for the
inevitable diagnosis, scrutiny, over-analysis and flamage.
