Serpentine Question

[profstoff]

Many thanks for your answers to the Mica question yesterday with some intersting thoughts ranging from half pipes to monoclinic things. Todays question for the PH-TVR body of knowledge is:

What is a Serpentine engine and what are the pros and cons between Serpentine and non-Serpentine?

Serpentine engine: Last incarnation of the Rover V8. Single poly Vee flat fan belt. Improved crank driven oil pump with slightly higher oil pressure. Improved internal cooling.
