Its funny how this guy can switch sides of the savage's design in the same breath. I guess his engine design experience is based on riding different motorcycles thousands of miles. Since when has that ever made anyone more qualified to make improvements to a motor? I wonder if he is Japanese? haha
First praising the Japanese engineers
"is a typical American
idea that any guy with a screwdriver is a better designer than a bunch
of highly paid Japanese engineers"
and inserting his typical American idea to improve this engine that has been designed by highly paid Japanese engineers he praised earlier
"The flamefront ignited by the spark plug has to travel all the way
across the monster piston bore to burn instead of explode. To minimize
this, the spark plug should be in the middle".
I am highly doubting this statement too
there isn't enough length in the manifold to thoroughly
mix the droplets and let them vaporize
Im pretty sure if it wasnt vaporizing, it wouldnt be firing. 8)
Does a lean stock bike (his preferred savage) have more potential for engine failure than a properly jetted one? I would think over the long term the stock jetted one with a free flowing muffler or k&n air filter would fail sooner than a completely stock bike or a bike with 152.5 and air filter with free flowing exhaust would . I believe this is true because its extra lean condition would make the temp higher as well as other things. Even a stock bike runs extremely hot and in the summer it was almost frighteningly hot sometimes.
This ain't rocket science he states. Thank god. I wouldnt let him come anywhere near my rocket
He could always be secretly working for the EPA and make up this propaganda hehe.
