One of my West Coast Vincent friends, 
Bill Martz, who enjoys the Ardun and LSR items I send him from our List,
wanted to pose a question to the technical experts here.  Bill was half
of the Martz-Auger team that was famous in Southern California for years
in the '50s, campaigning a 90% nitro Vincent Black Lightning mc on the
dragstrips.  He was the technical side, and his pal Tommy Auger was the
fearless lightweight rider.  Some of you with white hair like me may
remember them from Hot Rod in that era.  They sometimes got the ink.

Bill's question is, what are the advantages of the four-valve head of
today compared with the traditional two-valve hemi head design(still
very much with us)?  Thanks, Ardun Bill
