Legalize the Constitution |
U.S. Army sponsored MOPAR engine and huffer, complete tear-down, micrometer, bearing surface and worn part replacement, & rebuild—all in 7 1/2 minutes. There’s a much longer video of the process if you’d like a more in-depth look, but this is pretty neat. _______________________________________________________ despite them | ||

Still finding my way |
I was at a car show many years ago and saw this done live. I think it was something like 20 minutes to strip the engine down to the block and reassemble. Not a movement was wasted. | |||

It's interesting that they fuzzed out the intake top of the supercharger. There must be some pretty fancy proprietary design going on there. It blows me away that each one of those cylinders makes more horsepower than a Formula 1 engine. ______________________________________________ Aeronautics confers beauty and grandeur, combining art and science for those who devote themselves to it. . . .

Wow, that is so true. As far as the video goes it's interesting that for the most part they use all hand tools. Not much for cordless or pneumatic. JC | |||

Way different fuel allowances/volumes to the cylinder ... F1 has “road relevance” PC BS. Apples to zebras. I could say that an F1 car can navigate its way around any 2-4 mile road track far faster than a dragster ever could.  Cool video though!

The hat design and placement as well as the plenum below it/above the rotors is a very big part of the power that will be made. So, yes it's "fuzzy" logic.  "the meaning of life, is to give life meaning" ✡ Ani Yehudi אני יהודי Le'olam lo shuv לעולם לא שוב! | |||

Well sure. I've seen the videos of fuel flow at speed in one of those engines. Still, a bore and a piston is still a bore and a piston and you won't squash my sense of wonder that that engine produces as much power as it does and doesn't fly into a bazillion pieces...very often. ______________________________________________ Aeronautics confers beauty and grandeur, combining art and science for those who devote themselves to it. . . .

That engine was not run before they tore it down. Still had assembly lube all over it. Does not take away from the tear-down/rebuild speed. Having done similar work, when you get in the groove, people can do some pretty impressive stuff.

They pack so much nitro into each cylinder at speed that is almost a solid. That is why 2 mags and 2 plugs per hole. When they do misfire it is like trying to compress a brick. Then balooy. | |||
