No name:
I was talking cars! The 40 hp was in reference to the VW beetle that was
later upgraded to about 60 hp or so having that four cylinder opposed air
cooled engine in the back. (They actually had to retard ignition on Number
3 cylinder only or it would overheat.)
------------
The reason they had to retard the timing on number 3 cylinder was the fact
that they placed the oil cooler in such a position that it
*blocked* the
cooling air to #3.
