Talk:Pegaso Z-102

Dear ZooFari, Victor a/o other readers, Could you please direct me to the evidence / source(s) that the Pegaso Z-102 engine had a desmodromic distribution (valve gear)! I checked the references but didn't find the particular paragraph. All my searches re. desmo or not on the internet and in own documentation were in vain = nil result. Thank you very much.

I think you are correct, they did NOT have desmodromic valves. I did a little work for a shop restoring one that was one of the factory race cars - they finally got it to hold together, which the factory never could. The factory didn't have nitrogen-filled o-rings to seal the cylinders with tho :D

Anyway, it was definitely a standard overhead-cams-with-valve-springs engine. I made some replacement drive gears for the cams so pretty sure about that particular feature 116.231.74.1 (talk) 13:40, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nimble handling?[edit]

As far as I've read the handling was awful. The drum brakes was far from adequate for the car and steering was so hard the car needed an oversized steering wheel. // Liftarn

How many 1950's cars have you driven ? Your description fits most of them :) 116.231.74.1 (talk) 13:43, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Edition reverted[edit]

Dear ZooFari, I wonder if you could tell me why have you reverted my pegaso z-102 edition. It contributes with a technical data table in english and it shows the exact number of cars produced and it also corrects a little mistake,it says that only a few special cars were produced with Pegaso-made bodies, but, in fact, 14 ENASA (pegaso) bodies have been made, and that represents 16% of the production. It would be very kind of you to redo the edition. Thank you for your attention,

Víctor

I was very fortunate to find your discussion regarding me in Huggle (a program). Perhaps you are not aware that you may go to my talk page and let me know there so I'm sure I get your concern. This edit was one of those unfortunate double-page mistake I made in Huggle (my computer sometimes runs slow and end up reverting another article). I reverted it now, and hope you accept my apology.

Fastest production car?[edit]

The model that attained the speed cited was a racing version of the Z-102. NealeFamily (talk) 01:25, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
