Judd Tickford CV
V8 5-Valve F1
Engine
Tickford had produced encouraging results with a 5-valve version of
the Cosworth DFV engine in late 1987 and knowing Lotus would not
have Honda engine’s in 1989 made approached to supply them for
the1989 season.
It was estimated that the Tickford modifications would provide the
engine with an additional 25bhp on top of the 610bhp that the Judd
CV V8 4-valve normally made. The engine was tested for the first
time during Silverstone 1989 testing in the Lotus 101 and ran for
450 miles with encouraging results. It was brought to Paul Ricard
and used in practice for the 1989 French Grand Prix, but throttle
problems meant that the standard units were used in the race
instead. It was run during practice for the British Grand Prix and
proved 3mph faster down Hangar Straight, but question marks over
reliability meant it again wasn't used in the race. When Peter Warr
left Team Lotus and Tony Rudd took over before the German Grand
Prix, the project was removed from the race programme and any
further work was just done on the Dyno. Tickford also had a design
around that time for a 3.5 V12 F1 Engine with a 5-valve head but
needed funding to take the engine from concept to reality.
The engine pictured above resides in the Transport Section of the
Milton Keynes Museum.
