(for higher revs), Developed an entirely new single overhead cam cylinder head for it, with: Desmodromic valve action, (i.e., the camshaft both positively opens and positively closes each valve). Modified porting and water jacketing for racing requirements. Spark plugs moved to a central position in the top of the head. Two of the eight Duesenbergs in the 1930 Indy 500 race had this new 244-c.i. engine; one of those finished in fifth place. | |||||
