Oh, and one more thing--I mis-spoke about a infinite length rod--the rod angle doesn't change quickly, in fact it never changes. If you're going to actually play with the math, start by looking at an

Absolute minimum rod length would be 1/2 the stroke, giving a rod angle of 90 degrees at a crank angle of 90 degrees. Somehow I don't think it would run very well, something about there being no for

I was picturing a pin that slid inside the piston attached directly to the crank. I'm sure it would make no sense but I figured someone, somewhere would challenge the notion that there needs to be a

Bill, I hate to say it (especially in a public forum) but for once your right! The connecting rod, long or short, is the hypotenuse and the vertical distance from the crank shaft centerline and the w

Problem is, then the piston would have to move sideways to follow the crank throw. Or were you thinking of a slot in the piston to accept the sideways component, like the mechanism on a jig saw ? Ra

It seems that a lot of brain effort is being expended on this subject with all the math and such. I say we just take the reduced weight and friction and be happy with it. Or, to get the same benefit

I've played with the numbers in the spreadsheet, and I can't get much difference even when the stock length is less. For example, a stock SBC is 5.7, long rods are about 6.2. The arguments about weig

You need the rod to stroke ration to be about 2:1 to start seeing big differences. If you hover around 1.8:1 you won't see much. Makes great sense for cams to be expressed that way except that the ca

Interesting thread, albeit a bunch of the theory is WAY over my head. The 225 hp number applies to the 2.5 litre 6 cylinder engine. So what kind of horsepower number should us 2.2 litre 4 cylinder gu

Ditto. Well, you have two fewer cylinders, so 225*.66=148.5. Seems like a good number to me. I can't use that excuse. My answers are just stupid. rml -- Bob Lang Room N42-140Q | This space for rent C
