Hi all, I just bought a second hand 1585 engine and was searching around for differences. On the head I found an engraved 1500. Could anyone with a 1585 engine confirm this for me please? I hope I didn't get a 1500 engine. Cheers

James,

This stamping is something that Radical did when building a new 1500cc engine.

The cylinder heads can be the same spec, or even modified after (over size valves etc) for 1585 and they would have left this stamping on there.

Hopefully its a 1585!

Hi and thanks for the reply. I got confirmation from Radical through the engine number that it is a 1585. Thanks again
