Too do not forget the T253, here a new photo of the engine by John. Thanks

Is that on the right of the cylinder head? Much similarity with Alfa Romeo has, did they copy it?

THEY?? Who is THEY ?? The T251/2 were designed by Colombo.As he also designed some Alfa engines it is not surprising that there should be a family resemblance.The head on the left of the photo is T251/2 and that on the right is T253,which was a late development of the basic colombo design by Edouard Bertrand.

Thanks for the information.
Sorry, I meant with my question whether Alfa Romeo the cylinder head of the T253 copied. I did not know history ...
