Looking for "engine" corporation ,Coates head

[Slipstream]

Besides DSM Jim being right about the 4g63/dsm slowly becomming extinct, and Defiant also being quite right about your lack of authority to speak for any of the 15k enthusiests that you haven't personally gotten support from I will very simply point out that you were blown off totally and completely by Coates. While I would be interested in seeing a coates head in action on the 4g63 to weigh the pros and cons of the csrv design, It isn't realistic and won't likely be affordable. They high balled you. From their own web page:

CIL has sold a Use License to a Canadian oil and gas company for $5,000,000.00 and has developed a natural gas industrial engine for this company for an additional $5,000,000.00. This oil and gas company has placed a firm order for $47,000,000.00 of natural gas engines with CIL and issued a Letter of Intent to purchase 11,800 Coates natural gas generator systems, which equals a gross total of $1.3 billion over the next five years.

A European engine manufacturer has signed and placed a deposit on a $5,000,000.00 license. The same company also placed a firm order for 2,700 Coates four cylinder engines equaling $13,500,000.00.

13.5mil for 2700 engines....that is 5 large for a head alone since it would be a retrofit application to the existing block. I purchased my car for less. It's a beautiful design (in some respects), However I see very few of your 15,000 enthusiests willing to throw 5 grand into a head for a generation of automobile that is inching ever closer to its final days.

All because he thinks the timing belt breaking and valves hitting the head is a major problem.

Lets see, Timing belt and all part is about $200 and you can do it yourself obviously since your gonna put a Coates head on your car and make it work. So thats 250 timing belt changes you can do before your at a break even point.

If your blet snaps and you do smash all 16 valves, its about $500 to fix plus $200 for the timing belt and $100 for head gasket and parts. (All higher just for comparison purposes) so you can smash up the valves on the car 6 times before your at a break even point.

Your not using a coates head for power, a valve head will make over 1000hp on the 4G63, see Brent Rau or and Dave Bushchur, so it must be because your afraid of your timing belt breaking. Just change it 250 times and you'll be ok. Once every weekend should do it I would think.
