I can improve this article and would concur that it is not yet 'B' class standard. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by)    18:37, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The text is a copy of with phrases added, even if that is public domain text it should ideally be rearranged so as not to look so obvious.
 * The power-to-weight ratio is expressed backwards. At 0.6 hp/lb it is not remarkable and 'not the best to date'.
 * 'Guy Motors' should be red linked as should 'Star' (whoever they were).
 * The preceding engine, the ABC Mosquito, used copper plated cylinders, as did their earlier engines. So not necessarily the 'first'.
 * 56 engines were delivered and powered five different types of aircraft, I would question the use of 'experimental'.
 * These 56 engines were built by six different contractors, I have no record in my references of any being built by ABC themselves so the statement 'primarily built by ABC' would appear to be incorrect.
 * The extra image is causing white space problems.
 * There was a Mark II Wasp with enlarged bore and stroke, not mentioned.

Thank you

 * You are very welcome, give me a shout if you need any engine info, I can't guarantee I will have it but I have a fair collection of books mostly bought this year to help with the aircraft engine articles. There is an aircraft engine project page at WP:AIRENG and discussion at WT:AIRENG which was started very recently. Cheers Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by)    19:18, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
