Well that page shows the engine fitted with a Cherrys alloy sump and the other pic shows the engine mounted in a cherry. Im sure I would love to let any one that had one of these fit it up to one of my Cherry's. Great stuff this

Chris, it was a bloody brilliant trip. I'd definately reccommend at trip to Japan to anyone on here. I visited Endo San from B-Pro as well as Hirota. It's not that expensive either. If you look back through all the old posts in the blog you can follow the trip.

Here are some larger pics I just nabbed. Let me know if there's anything else you want.

Cheers

And the head is as simple as it seemed. The push-rods simply serve a rocker shaft that is offset from the standard. That was why the head was so wide. I wonder if the bolts along the cover are anything to do with the rocker pedestals.

You lucky bugger.

Absolutely fantastic. I have no idea how to navigate around wordpress, but I'm stoked to see the diagrams.

Yes, sure is my blog. There's more in Pictures too, including a close up of the AY head diagrams.

I hope you realised that there is a full page write-up of the AY12 Engine. Including diagrams.

Interesting stuff, what a treasure.

Also the even more rare, downdraft AZ12?
