Did you notice the liquid gas coming in around the valve in a few frames?

Now lets have a comparison with EFI :cool2:

But it was cool... :)

Tanglediver,

That was perfect. I have been trying to explain the process to my young son, - I have ordered a clear plastic "working" engine model kit to help him, but this video will help too!

Can anyone make out what the scrolling numbers are on the bottom of the screen? Are they degrees temperature, or degrees of crankshaft rotation? My set-up isn't good enough to make it out.

It's degrees alright but I can't make out the numbers either... But can see that it goes to 0 right about the time it fires ... TDC

I do wish you could read the number as the video progresses though.

Definately way cool. That took some engineering to setup.

That was a really cool video. I've always wanted to be that fly to see how my porting jobs flow in "real time", not just on the flow bench.

I have a hunch they used a lot of editting and each stroke is made up of many frames from many different strokes of the cylinder, if they slowed it down from the original I think the vibration wouldn't be there and everything would be smooth, just thinking logically here, non the less very good example of the workings of an engine. Howstuff works is pretty good too.

Saw this a while back makes you appreciate the power of modern ICB engines.
