(quoted from post at 12:33:42 12/20/14) The internal combustion engine comes in many forms.Yet they all share the same principles.These are just a few of my 'favorites'. Ford flathead V8;any 2 stroke detriot diesel; (1960s)GMG V6; the IH gas start diesels. What are your 'favorites'?
(quoted from post at 05:52:18 12/21/14) American LaFrance V12. Lycoming design. Also Cord used the same design. Dual Ignition. Have seen them being pump tested, the UL test required them to do 10% above the nameplate GPM/PSI rating for a period of hour(s). Some of the 1000GPM rated, they took the fan blades off, (there was a built in intercooler connected to the pump circuit) run the fluids a little low to get rating. Test room had a stack thru the ceiling 30 feet into the air and you could hear them all over the factory.
The exh manifolds would get white hot, almost transparent. Yet, when let back down to an idle, we stood a nickel on edge on the center head.
