@@THESLlCK I couldn't say really, but the X configuration is taller still. You can't easily have four conrods side by side on a crankpin, so the crank would be longer and the banks heavily offset, with or without separate pins - possibly not much worse than a boxer engine. I don't think master and slave rods are a good idea on a high revving engine, but could be wrong. At least it wouldn't have had the same exploding crank problem to deal with, which even the later H16 was still susceptible to!

The designer of this H16 engine, GD (Geoff) Johnson, joined British Leyland (Austin Morris) in January 1970 as Chief Designer (Petrol Engines). I joined his Longbridge Engineering Block team at the same time as a lowly petrol engine designer Grade 2 (of 6). GDJ often came around to our drawing boards with a roll of BRM H16 engine drawings under his arm to provide an example of how we should be designing our tiny 1 litre SOHC alloy headed new engine. GDJ was a great boss and we all respected him for his past designs.

@Bikerbuoy (and Johnson) were/are right - Karl Ludvigsen's "Classic Racing Engines" has Rudd heading the project and Geoff Johnson as chief designer. Rudd made the choice of a V16 based on the proven valvetrain, piston, rods & combustion chamber of the very successful V8s. Things went a bit awry after that though. If I knew where my copy of "It was fun" by Tony Rudd was, I could see what he said about it. It was a great idea in principle, but in practice wasn't able to get the packaging they needed, and even the magnesium-block version was way too heavy (a magnesium engine block!) Bikerbuoy, why did BL never properly develop the Mini?
@Bikerbuoy7 ай бұрын
@@thosdot6497 Short answer? BL never had the money. The ADO74, a completely new 'mini', took care of all the Issy-based cost issues such as rusting external body flanges front to back. Sub-frame mountings (corrosion again) and even clutch servicing. The all-new H series 1 litre was 'unit construction' with just one major power unit casting for engine and trans (think 4 cyl motorcycle engine). It had a SOHC alloy head and no crossover parts from the A Series. It developed 51bhp at 5750rpm on its first dyno test (single carb) on 12 Dec 1971.. The clutch was 'inside-out' allowing a lightweight plastic cover, unstressed by the clutch operating mechanism. The entire car was just as radical...but the project was cancelled for lack of cash.

Man, changing the engine must have been a suuuuuuuck-FEST! "Hmmmm...small leak in bank #4. All right, lads - put her on these milk crates and off you go. Pip, pip." Another high quality video, thanks Bozzy!

@@andrewdyer2032 what was Repco's involvement? The H16 was an in-house BRM design. The Repco V8 was probably the antithesis to this H16 in terms of approach. Much to respect to Phil Irving all the same!

I remember watching the British Grand Prix of that era. It wasn't the BRM that got my attention. It was Surtees' Honda V12, which absolutely shrieked.

Awesome video, and rare because there are very few audio and visual sources for this engine. It's a shame that there may never be a good audio source for it at full tilt like there is for the BRM V16 F1 engine. Seems that they take it very gingerly every time the H16 comes out to play. Thanks!

Back in the days were constructors could try various layouts in an attempt to gain advantage. This spell innovation and ongoing improvement. Not like today when everything is so outrageously regulated. I guess, just like everything else these days…

Le Mans hybrids like the Porsche 919 are a lot more fun to watch and listen to than F1 cars nowadays. I love the 919's turbo whine, the scream from the electric motor and the frankly insane acceleration.

Hearing old audio of this car in action really gives me goosebumps. It sounds like a mid to late 90s NASCAR stock car almost. Like what Sterling Marlin's team used for the exhaust back then. Dr. Gas exhaust.

Most old audio is actually of the V16 from the type 15 car. Audio of the BRM is extremely hard to come by. There's a literal handful of videos on youtube with actual audio of the H16 and none in anger
