I thought Sea Fury had a Bristol sleeve valve powerplant.

yes they used Bristol Centaurus engine..but that video ( i might be wrong ) is the sea fury with the R-3350 engine ( probably less than 3 have the centaurus that is airworthy ) while the rest were converted to R-3350 engine because is easier to maintain

Alucard,

I was an A&P mechanic for 30 years I think the Furys were converted to Wright R-3350 because of the availability not because of maintenance.
