Does anybody know where i can find pics of the dtm engine on the web? I've tried about every wording in the search with no luck. Worst thing is i had these pics and now they've vanished :confused:

John, Is this one?

It isn't Allen. The engine has full on throttle bodies with shower injectors. Its the cam belt pic i'm after, a rather special setup.

Ok, How about this link (http://images.google.co.uk/images?svnum=10&hl=en&q=dtm+155+v6+engine)?

That is the engine in question, but somewhere there are pics of it out of the car, showing the timing belt arrangement. Just forget now but that motor revved well into five figures.

The race motor had a timing belt for each bank of cylinders, wrapped well around both inlet and exhaust cam pulleys. These went around intermediate pulleys which were driven by a double width belt from the crank. My thoughts were the timing belt was obviously one of the weak points, probably due to the super strong valve springs and high lift cams putting too much strain on a single belt. If you see the pic, all will become clear. :)
