Mv Agusta engine question

[cobra427302]

It's not very interesting to look at in pictures, really.

The combustion chamber looks like it's a little more rounded and the valves are not in line like normal.

The cams look normal until you look close, and you'll see angled cam lobes.

That's about it.

just imagine all the valves being straightlike a standard engine then rotate the upper tip away from the other 3 ever so slightly

The valves are angled away from each other in two planes, not just one. Picture a ball with the valve faces against it and you'll have the idea.
