The Ilmor MV8 Ocean Performance Series (OPS) engines are designed for salt-water use or other closed cooled applications. Available in all three displacement variants, OPS engines provide superior temperature control compared to an open cooled system and enhance catalyst performance through temperature control. The OPS engines also ensure fuel and spark optimization throughout the engines’ operating range. Finally, OPS engines offer full system corrosion protection and utilize environmentally friendly coolant.
