Rotations per minute of the crank, camshaft?

 

crankshaft

 

that is pretty fast...at 4500 RPM's that means its spinning 75 times per second...wow

 

yup


Wich means that the valves Go Up and Down almost 40 times a second.


Now you see why minute differances Can cause such Huge problems.


In Fact, when You think about it, Its amazing that It works at all


I mean hell, Ive done some Rigged *** Jobbers to the valvetrain, haha.

Livin' the Stereotype

 

Then thinkabout how many times the drivetrain is turning a second, how many times the tires rotate

 

all in all it's best to not think about it at all. some of the things we've all done to our cars and engines makes you wonder how it stays together.
