A "non-specific" question seeking an "alternative" answer.
Any connection to the failed skulduggery,on behalf of W.E.Co�.(?), supported by Acme, wanting to gain hold of some of R.R.s assets?
Great engine all the same.

Here is another one.
I have no idea if this engine ever got put back together as I sold it the way it is here and have not heard back from the person that bought it.

Just to show the actual size of a Palmer ZR 1
If it was a 6 cylinder engine it would be 855 cu in or over 14 L
This is 142.5 cu in or 2.335 L per cylinder. |

More Trivia
This crankcase could have been a ZR1, PNR1, or NR1. This one is an early ZR1. Based on tag location (on the intake cam gear housing), number of crankcase breathers (1)and the casting around the oil fill at the top of the exhaust (right side) timing gear area.
I have all the parts to make this one run again.
If time allows that should happen over the winter. |
