Hello to all
Of this engine were built 3 cylinder head and one of them is in the hands of the Brettoni, but the other 2? If I remember correctly the engine was a 1200 cc and Weber Marelli injection was ready but never tested.  :(
Does anyone have more info? I have only the F1 cams in pic....

Very interesting, I never knew they had made 4 valve heads for the triple.
 
I think this refers to the water cooled one.
I saw it at the NEC in Birmingham a few years ago, but It was in a glass case and I wasnt sure that it was entirely made of metal.

There is a long story as to this project being "removed" from Breganze, subcontractors may or may not have got paid, and it may or may not have been removed legally.Some of it might even be accurate.

I dont think even Franz  Lambock got a  four valve air cooled engine, even though he did get very special crankcases.

No, looks more like a regular 120 air cooled type cam layout.
I would think the much newer water cooled engine layout would mean much more compact camshaft length.
 
This engine was 120? air cooled and born in the 1988/1989 ( end of Breganze era), the engine water cooled was born in the 1999.
In this engine some parts in the head was common with Atlas  :o but i don't know other info....
 
Interesting Tiziano, I had never heard of any 4v head on the old engine but for sure that is what those cams are.  Whatever information you can dig up is of interest to the wider Laverda community.
 
The late Giulio Franzan showed Gijs and me a prototype engine model at the factory in mid 90ies. It was a polystyrene model and he commented that, because of the big dimensions, he reckoned there was no future for it and that they would have to start from scratch, which they did. With a big smile he lifted the engine in the air saying 'it's very light though!'  :D

We were not supposed to take any pics though, but should have something somewhere. Stay tuned..
