i didnt read all the mumbo jumbo, so i didnt see exactly what the guy had to say, but it seems like a decent concept anyway. ill be the first to admit i dont have an intricite understanding of internal compustion engines, but the basic concept seemed well and gooe enough. > the smaller piston will see a higher force than the big piston requiring > stronger bearing surfaces. Cooling will be another big problem as will > getting air and fuel efficiently in and out of the motor. yeah, but those are money problems. what kind of actual inherit design flaws would you think it would have? (like i said, i didnt bother reading too much, so i dunno if the guy is just blowing it out his ass) > I am just an M.E. in his senior year oh...so THATS the problem. :-) (we make fun of ME's and CE's as much as we make fun of the buisiness kids!) :-) ben randolph 92 16v gti aerospace _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
