Some of you were interested in the Coates rotary valve head. I wrote Coates engines a couple months ago and here's the response I receieved just today.

"... it is a real pleasure to hear from you. CIL has not compiled either a product catalog or a pricing sheet for entire engines containing our innovative CSRV system or a refitting kit for use on the Ford 5.0 L or the classic Chevy 350 CID. The reason for this is that management temporarily changed the corporate mission to allocate all its resources to mate the CSRV system with a line of large natural gas burning industrial engines. As a consequence, no new work is being accepted until the natural gas engines are completed and brought to the marketplace. CIL continues to believe that the auto OE and refitting vistas have inherent potential, but these areas must await their appropriate attention. Should you wish to follow the company’s progress, I would suggest that you periodically visit and revisit website www.coatesengine.com to ascertain whether we’ve returned to the automotive line. Thank you for contacting us.



Sincerely,

Dr. Richard Evans
