British Anzani A & B Stock & Alky Racing Engines

[John (Taylor) Gabrowski]

With an entire trinity of readers/posters turning up I just can't wait for this British Anzani thread to go past 18,000 views! Any bets as to when?

When the expansion chambers on Anzanis were featured in earlier posted pictures based on Jim Hallum's videos on Region 10 there from 1959 to 1976 there was just quiet observance by readers here but few posts but with Bill Tenney's version of expansion chambers he made for his Anzanis being posted all of a sudden there is great interest not seen before as a result of such good pictures I guess. The digital revolution and the internet are just great are they not?

Good Grief!! I just went back to forums section and this British Anzani thread is over 18,000 views now! How long will it take to get to 19,000?

Another picture! Of my old 128 CP 1960s Swift Big D from the 1960s with its 40H running.

As you know the British Anzani and the HRP Harrisons are kissing cousins across the ocean from each other. Harrison Racing Products (HRP) (Birmingham Metal Products) made the Harrison racing engines and replacement parts, pistons for British Anzani (for years) =, for itself in its Harrison engines and for some other engines as well. All three castings versions have been identified here between Anzani and HRP for Anzani and with their differences will featured in a future pictorial. In going over this information with Jim Hallum recently, he indicated that he had not had any experience in using HRP piston castings in Anzanis and had not seen a piston with a "Lodite" casting mark in any he machined and installed in any of the 250cc or 322cc Anzanis he was involved with. That he only received the genuine Anzani piston products from Bill Tenney that were either finished to spec or what he termed as Anzani piston "blanks" you could do the full machinist job on configuring skirts, port windowing, puff or boost ports in the skirts, piston crowns, ring grove(s) and ring type installations that (piston ring designs) were on the move in their technologies as well.

Something to look forward to.

At such things happening I am truly speechless! Comparing pistons technologies is very interesting subject matter too.

The contents of what is pictured or written up concerning Anzanis on in these threads come from many sources very real in either historical pictorial form, video slices, articles written, experiences explained, speculations pondered or from technical sources available elsewhere through a variety of sources many of which are from the internet itself. They are for your viewing pleasures, to add your view and even your pictures of people with or working with the Anzanis. It is to do your own research supplied to you from some thought implanted with you here from what you find. Nothing given or alluded to here are absolutes but generally add direction to anyone seeing and reading that could result in some doing something on some readers part they might mention here again in an enlightening approach to share in their experience.

It is not a place for personalities or personal issues not Anzani.

Previous articles dealing with Expansion Chambered exhausts, their design and their construction were one lined and beset upon as being not accurate, misleading or in some way wrong. The expereinces of the Andersons, Hallum and Tenney are real from their perspectives. What was used here in modern day is standard historical data as well as evolutionary data for pipe making was made available to the public from pipe developers and makers from around the world. Some are good and some are better but the point is what they provide is readable, doable for the do it yourselfer as well they sell the service and ready to use pipes to you at a price. What I do falls right in the middle so that is where I come from advising others to look on both sides of the subject and make up their own minds.

All this is the essences of what British Anzani, Harrison, Quincy, OMC etc. on BRF are all about. When you see anything else, read it in context and make your own judgement calls. One thing we want here though is the participation of inquiring minds dealing with the thread and its theme. Its not a place for conflicting personalities for what ever are their reasons, so let us keep it that way.

I am requesting the board owners to clean up what went on here recently not in this threads or the boards best interests and to keep a reign on some conducts in the future as it had and has no place here.

From some of the data, pictures, videos and defunct magazine materials the Anzani thread could very well double from 40 to over 80 pages of information and articles in the next year. There is also a significant amount of extra information on its cousin the Harrison as well as many other articles to enhance other threads here on BRF. Needless to say in my spare time my scanners and converter softwares are in for a lot of use.

I urge you to go to his image #652 and read his comments regarding his eviction from his former residence.


For those not on Facebook:

In Canada come election year, the extreme measures taken by re-election teams to ensure a win takes on the bizarre when it comes to methods. Winnipeg's mayor Sam Katz wamts to be elected again, indeed his special interests in mainstream media, financial communitiies, slum landlords in property management circles, Winnipeg Police, the NDP, Winnipeg lawyers, provincial Court judges, Crown attourneys, special interests groups and individuals from Jewish Winnipeg all want him to be mayor 3rd time around. They are 5% of the population so what does this house picture have to do with it?

his house and the deposing of its owners by criminal means by mayor Sam Katz re-election supporters was done to remove a viable candidate from WInnipeg's 2010 mayoralty race because to run for office you must be a taxpaying Winnipeg resident. Remove the resident and you get rid of a candidate in particular a dark horse non-Jewish candidate with the knowhow to peel back the wall of corruption and crime that grips Winnipeg city hall in a stranglehold. The address is 111 Reay Cresecent, Winnipeg where examination now shows squatters, home invaders of East Indian origin are now temporarity there that was part of the plan as executed from mayor Katz offices and confederates at city hall.

The Winnipeg Free Press's and research company recent survey indicates with some degree of error that some 52% of Winnipegger's surveyed would re-elect Katz and then the remainder of potential candidates of which some are there with NDP connection to split the mayoral vote too to get Katz re-elected vary from 36% down to single digit vote percentages to round out this commisioned by special interests survey. Will Katz hope to even get single digit election returns once it is exposed that in Katz's best interest this pictured $275,000.00 house was criminally stolen from its owners in an effort to get Katz re-elected? Just what is the public going to think that now its all coming out and there is no way to stop it and in that Katz and his crooked cronnies will be revealed naked to the world for everyone to see.

For general information, the property taxes were not in arrears, the mortgage was not in default, and there were no legal liens on the property yet Winnipeg police were sent by criminalized judiciary attacked this home time and time again illegally, criminally and the house was given to the present home invaders for a $100,000.00 discount off its over $275,000.00 valuation and the owners that had a over $200,000.00 equity in the home got a whopping ZERO dollars particularly designed by Katz criminal supporters to be so to wipe out this mayoralty opposition candidate who with his disabled wife occupied this dwelling. The paradox to this temporary loss was actually started by people not remotely connected to mayor Katz then but are sure now and now too they revel in these crimes being committed against the owners of the house, WCB registered medical doctors Dr. Wayne Hildahl (Pan Am Clinic) and Dr. Michael MacKay (formerly of Pan Am clinic and now with Legacy Sports). Will they survive Winnipeg once that story gets fleshed out as medical doctors is to be seen but involved they were in this theft to these people's home is very real. There are stories within stories to be revealed here and not to pretty either.

What is so unbelievable is that mainstream media and in fact no media what so ever wants to cover any aspect of what happened here. Evidently threats were made against the media by special interests to stay away from the situation and not give it any coverage what so ever that applied to all media outlets coast to coast. Immediately comparisons came out likening this situation to what was going on in Nazi Germany to Jews in terms of property confiscations from 1933 to 1945 now happening in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada now with a new twist of the NDP Government insurance interests having Jewish special interests behind the controls of what was going on here.

I am a Canadian born on a USA military base in Germany that emmigrated to Canada raised by his Polish parents who survived the Nazi concentration and slave labour camps of Hilter's Nazi Germany.

when the second jetplane hit the building. Everything after that looked like controlled demolition and shortly after that a lot of insurance money changed hands and it all started a war. How much of this was all deception and money linked hand in hand will be hard to tell because some kind of victors as usual get to write the history.

Now John's occupation has been changed from journalist to "Senior Investigator, Analyst & Case Presenter"

This all has to do with Winnipeg's Semitized real estate interests who have their newest quarter of the city right next door to these disputed lands this court case is all about.

That Winnipeg police drive like chuckwagoneers at wild west shows screaming yahoo while they do it! The NDP Racialization and Semitization of the legal system the crime that comes out of particular Winnipeg law firms, the NDP Government's favourites.
