Beltz was promoted to Oldsmobile general manager at age 43 in 1969 when Harold N. Metzel retired. Beltz passed away in May of 1972 from cancer at the age of 46. John Beltz is leaning on a dual fan 455 Olds and posing with other experimental Olds engines that never saw production. Here are descriptions of these engines: 1. The 0W-43 all aluminum 455 with 4 valve per cylinders, four overhead cam Weber engine. With a redline of just under 8500rpm it was originally conceived for CAN AM racing. At 3000rpm it put out 300hp and at 6000rpm registered over 600hp. The top output recorded for this engine in the Lansing dyno facility was 700 real hp at 6800rpm.

Bike tires should be checked regularly and well maintained. Dirt bike tires are made with rubber-knobbed dirt terrain chewers that offer the best in braking system, acceleration and shock absorption.

Dirt bike tires are available in many colors, sizes and shapes to suit the individual bike and it’s needs. For example, if you terrain is very hard then soft outer rubber tires are the right choice. They provide the best tire grip on rough and rugged surfaces. If your preference is soft terrain including sand and mud then getting dirt bike tires with knobs further apart from each other is better and the sand and mud will be thrown away from the tires to prevent clogging. Most dirt bikes have the front tire with spiky knobs.

Some bikers ride in both types of terrain. For this use an intermediate tire sturdily built to handle any type of terrain should be selected. However, If you are riding in desert conditions then the paddle tires are better because they offer a much smoother ride and better traction.

Dirt bike tires are very sturdy and durable. All manufacturers are very careful in building the tires since it involves the most important part of the dirt bike. But bottom line, it comes down to the consumers to pick the best tires for their dirt bikes.
