J A Prestwich were in Tottenham, they were the only engine for speedway and grasstrack for years. They were mostly short fours,there was quite a black market trade in jap parts,don't tell anyone. sometimes in engineering,simplicity is a thing of beauty,do you think? total loss lubrication via a pilgrim pump,but with magnesium crank cases, steel push rods and an alloy con.rod. OHV only two valves. but for what they were used for,they flew! Alf Hagon, who I worked with for a time and was also a friend,said the basis of a good engine was a good set of flywheels. the demise of the JAP Engine was when the parts supply ran out,long after the factory had closed.
If you google J A Prestwich,you will find some mouth watering pictures
Thanks for listening to me waffling on John,Regards,Keith.

Did JAP twins not hang out the front of various hot rod Morgan three wheelers?
