AEG Short-stroking help

Please note that non-crucial animation factors (like the sector accelerating after releasing the piston) have been left out. The first clip shows an AEG gearbox functioning normally, with a full tooth piston.

In the second clip, we see a piston that has had a single tooth removed, and is being used with a full-tooth sector gear.

In the third clip, a full tooth piston is used with sector gear which has had a tooth removed.

what does a short stroke do?

[Corvid]

@Maddafakka98 Basically, short-stroking reduces the distance the piston has to travel after it's released by the sector gear. This is the final modification performed after 2nd/3rd tooth removal, swiss cheesing the piston and installing a stronger spring. All of these reduce the chance of severe (and the severity of minor) premature engagement of the piston by the sector gear at very high rates of fire.

can you help me please? on the sector gear, wihich teeth i have to cut? the first that engage the piston or the last teeth? i saw in different comments but there are different answers :(

[Corvid]

@italiansniperkill I personally remove the one that first engages the pickup tooth of the piston (and any more from that side too). In my head at least, this ensures the piston isn't released before the tappet plate has been released and fully come to rest, not screwing with the piston release in relation to the tappet plate timing is the aim. However, I strongly suspect it would only make a noticeable difference at VERY high speed, or if you removed a number of teeth from the "wrong" side.

Even if you cut the same amount of teeth of the piston you would need the release tooth to be metal. No different than just cutting teeth of the sector gear alone
