Doug's right. They were never in the 300SL street
cars. By the way the name comes from the French word
desmodromique which means "to force to follow a
contour". One would think that it would minimize valve
float. Gee. All you need is another cam or more lobes
and rockers and stuff. Sounds like a hair brained idea
I'd come up with. Wayno
