Title: Ariel 600cc Engine, can anyone confirm this?
Post by: just_matt on April 13, 2009, 08:33:18 AM

Hi, have had this engine cylinder sitting in the shed for ages.

Dont realy know what its from, but think its from an Ariel VB 600cc sidevalve.

Can anyone confirm this, here is a picture.

Certainly looks to be 600cc VB Ariel but a photo up the right way and showing it all would help.
You can further help by measuring the bore and telling us what it measures plus tell us how many head studs it has. If I remember my VB Ariels correctly they increased the number of head studs when they upgraded to an alloy head in the 50's so we can give you a better date if we know how many stud holes it has.
Cheers.
