I dont really know which area to post this in, but i guess here is as good as any.

The TAG Porsche turbo V6 had similar cam profile due to splayed 4 valve heads. There's a pretty cool book on Hans Mezger's years as Porsche head engine designer,
cool link thanks for sharing!

Thank you very much man! 

I especially like the close-up seat details, really good stuff, interesting.

interesting that the ports are ' plenumed ' with balancing slots.
