Hi Groutaone, Re: pistons- don't u think its surprising that in the 21st century we're still using 18th century ideas & making a piece of Ali or steel travel in 1 direction at high speed for a few cm & then forcing it to change, using up energy in the process? Wankel got it right. Also, you mentioned the "play" in a cold piston- seem to recall that its near impossible to turn over a cold F1 engine (they rev to around 14,000rpm) by hand as the metal needs to expand to make the tolerances correct?

@Rockinghorseshart Not sure on the F1 engines, I wouldnt be surprised if they spin 18000 rpm

I was wearing earplugs and I shit my pants at 2:52 but that's okay. I LOVE YOUR VIDEO! :D

Respect from the land of KFC!! :)

I WAS THE 100th like. Lol @ " you wanna come over here and say that? I AM over there." had nothing to do with anything but a great laugh.

@Rockinghorseshart have heard they pump race temp coolant thru an f1 engine to warm it b4 its fired up.dunno if its right, but the theory is sound.good vid.

reminds me of when i asked a Structural Engineer if i should wear in a motor like i stole it (as some people would suggest) or do the gradual rpm build up with cool down stages (recommended by a performance engine builder), he explained about the grains in metal and about tempering, long story short i'll never do the "ride/drive it like you stole it" procedure and will never recommend it to anyone.

@groutaone Thank YOU for the lesson there. That was awesome.
