Then I have to doubt you. If you have a patent number, no one can rip you off. If they try, and you prove it's the same, they lose...plain and simple.

Yea...do it quite often, and if you dont believe it, you obviously havent seen some of the stuff we have...with nothing out of the ordinary on it.. You also forget that you cant get but so much out of any engine stock, due to this little thing called volumetric efficiency..
If its commonly found on a car, then you cant have a patent on it, since someones beat you to it...and from someone that was in , and still is in in a way, the automotive end, I dont recall anything out of the ordinary being slapped on with your name on it...and besides, with a patent, first, its already online....and second, te reason you GET a patent is to protect it..therefore, I have to agree with TS...the doubt is not in my court...but yours. When you make a claim like that, you can be sure to be asked to shut up, or put up in here.
Well, I guess this argument is over now. :)
The argument loser pays for the drinks so..... SSin, hope you brought lots of cash. (I have had a s***ty day I would like to forget :) )

if I give the patent # then people can look the part up online and how to modify it. and do it in their garage. how would I know if someone had done it without my knowledge? the only clue I will give you is that it changes the volumetric efficiency.
it is only good for engines that you don't care how long they last eg. smash up derby.
plans are in the works to have an aftermarket kit come out produced by a major manufacturer. (not allowed to say who yet)

Suffix codes that start with T from my knowledge were destined for Trucks. That is probably why you can't find it in any online resource. Most them just talk about the car blocks :).

I found TAX codes, but not T4X... I'll have another look at the engine tonight and try and get all the codes off. Ah hell, maybe I'll just pull one head and have a look - gotta get the stupid thing outta the driveway and onto a stand eventually...
