Snake bitt...take a nap. Jees, what is it with you guys, any way? I didn't say ONE derogatory comment about KC. I just asked the kind of questions that would help me understand the difference in his motors vs. others. You're a good little groupie, and I'm sure he appreciates you running to his aid, but there's no threat here, so you can just relax. I thought we were over this? These are BASIC engine design questions that anyone who calls himself an engine "builder" should be able to answer without giving away his "secrets". If you knew enough about what goes into the dsign of an engine, you would know that, so just back off and let some of us have an objective, impersonal, friendly conversation about things that we understand. All right? Besides, no one has a gun to his head to answer anything he dosen't feel comfortable answering.
And I sure don't need KC to tell me how to design an engine. (No offense KC) I'm not interested in FE's. As good as he's gotten them, for which I think he deserves his due credit, they're still outdated by today's contemporary engine standards, which is more where my interest lies. I'm impressed with the gains that have been seemingly achieved. I'm curious as to the improvements that have been made, and where. I'm still a little skeptical, but not as doubting as I was. Some good points have been made through this post in his defense, but I still haven't gotten the answers that I'm looking for to be convinced. The questions I asked are based on the areas that I would expect to make some of the significant differences. Notice I didn't even ask about a cam.
Just calm down!!!!
