Willy Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Are there any Whippet Forums? I am restoring a 1928, and have many parts that do not fit - are for 27, 29 or 30. Would like to sell or trade. I have fenders, wheels, dashes, misc. parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldcar Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Hi WillysRight here on the AACA Forum General Discussion there is a site devoted to Kaiser etc & Willys. They seem to be mainly 40s & 50s cars but if you don't start your own thread there no one will know about the earlier cars. I have a friend here in Victoria Australia with a 1918 Overland Speedster.oldcar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rob McDonald Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 WILLY and friends, save me some research, please: I've had it in my head for a long time that Whippets all had sleeve valve engines, like their Willys big brothers. That would have been remarkable for a competitor in the low-price market. Did I dream this up this "fact"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlnash Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 The whippets all had poppett valve engines, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dei Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Whippet engines indeed were poppett valved. Both the 4 cylinder and the 6's.In fact, the 4 is the fore runner design of the WW2 Willys Jeep engines. There is even an after market head for that engine that I believe was for increasing the compression.It is the Willys Knights that have sleeve valve engines.

Guest Commodore Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Well, Willys sorta made a sleeve valve engine Whippet. Willys made the Falcon-Knight which was basically a 6 cylinder Whippet with a Knight sleeve valve engine. it was priced between the Whippet and the Willys Knight.

Guest Rob McDonald Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Thanks guys, it took me a while to find my way back to this thread. Maybe it was a Falcon-Knight that I read about at some point, which caused me to jump the track and believe that Whippets were sleeve-valve powered. I'd love to see one of these novel machines some time and to hear it run - or not hear it, because they were all about quiet running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
