Laverdaroo:
Now I’m stuffed, was watching him doing pneumatic-valve operation and theory last night. He’s proper clued up that chap isn’t he. Long winded but clued up.

I've got more to watch when I get time.

Something else interesting https://www.f1technical.net/news/20316 overview of how they burn really really lean fuel mix currently.

But.......https://global.honda/heritage/episodes/1972introducingthecvcc.html this principle was developed by Honda to production in the 70s just how far ahead were they  :) and interesting that they have come to the fore in F1 terms recently.

Well I have to say I didn't get it from the slider crank rig he had built.
It appeared to me that every time he turned the crank to 90 deg it looked like he turned it too far, hence I was unconvinced.
I was sure he was right and that it was simply a slight camera angle offset that made it look suspect, so being a bit anal I drew it out myself which made it blindingly obvious.
10cm con rod and 3cm crank.
Got to do the maths now just to see if I still have half a brain cell left.

Worryingly I did an engineering degree and the first year was common across all disciplines.
I can remember doing vector diagrams to dynamically balance several different weights about a rotating shaft so I may well have done all this stuff and forgotten all of it. It was 1976? ish.
If you mention this year, Roo will gleefully tell you he was aged 1. Don't ask how I know.

However what an amazing bit of engineering and mind boggling all the torsional tweaks they have to do to the camshaft to get it to work as well as they can.

Laverdaroo:
I was two ;D ;D ;D

Oddjob:
Damn Roo, you ain't aged well man, I thought you were a pensioner you're so wrinkly  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

In fact I honestly thought someone had put a nose on a scrotum.
