John K Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 what has been started - an oil fuelled 8 valve revolution thats what!! 8 valves... Is it that advanced..? To be honest I'm not even sure about the oil bit, I think mine eats coal. Might explain some of the noises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_prelit now westfield_bumble Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Another xflow fan here come to join the revolution. ( can i join even though mine doesn't do anything :cry: Well it still drips oil :d ) Thought today was the day to hear it the but new starter was the wrong one. Hopefully by next friday it might breath again then i fear i'll not have the heart to sell it indecisive I am lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litcoat Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Almost had my old girl up and running but now I've lost the spark, dodgy wiring somewhere is popping the coil, but while she was running the sound is truly awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pond Dipper Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 My crossflow looks and sounds amazing. Won't be changing that for a long while. Long live the mighty crossflow. Praise be to Ford and Vulcan Engineering, both Gods in my opinion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander72 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 well said Pond Dipper - my mighty cross flow powered me to 2nd in class at Blyton today (JUST) head of Smeg in his 16V unit - well driven Dave :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pond Dipper Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Well done at blyton. Sorry i missedit, maybe next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Morcom Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 The mightiness of the original crossflow found it's way into all subsequent engine designs regardless of the number of valves, just ford used the name first - they are all built on the simple concept of inlet on one side and outlet on the other. So the mighty crossflow will never die! They mingle in the sea of modern derivatives. Mine achieved 2nd on Sat and 1st in class on Sunday - OK is was in the historic class and in a Formula Ford.
