Got me?

Mille is thousand in italian so we're both as bad as each other. The V obviously recognised the engine configuration but as for the RS, i'm stumped as well.

If no one else comes up wit a solution or definative answer i'm using yours

That sounds logical because the RS250 is a two stroke and they don't have valves!
