For those interested in deeper examination of mechanical parts within some engines

Warning, for the impatient it may not be for you :) slow delivery but a very lucid look at this element of engineering from Brian Garvey.

Nice one, that was really interesting, albeit a tad long winded bless him. I'm not surprised F1 motors are so expensive, just looking at the machining of that sprung gear on the end of the cam. Bit like an over engineered cush drive really but what a piece of design and execution, brilliant.
I can see that he must be a good engineer, he must be able to get those hands into the smallest of places, have you seen how much his thumb bends the wrong way when he's holding that sprocket assembly :o..............old bannana thumbs! ;D
K2-K6:
;D I thought the same about thumb dexterity Roo.
Yes, needs to bring the speed up a little hence my warning for the impatient. Very clear in his view and explanation though.
Johnwebley:
If you read Keith Duckworth auto biography he explains how they had problems with the DFV,

I kinda got it straight away and having a visual aid meant that it was really clear. I was always pretty good at physics and maths, couldn't really see why he said folk dont understand that particular theory really, you can see the extrra travel on the crank to allow room for the swing and rotation of the con rod. Anyway, spot on, cheers 8) ;)
