I am taking a solidworks class in school, I was playing with the software this afternoon and drew up some engine components for practice. thought I would share some of what I was working on. some stuff is way off, but I only had a cylinder and a ruler so I used Google images to guess on the rest of the dimensions and stuff haha.

Good looking model. However, that engine may vibrate a bit with the modified crank throws. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

That's cool. If you want components to model, I'd be happy to mail some out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Wow. yeah I can’t believe I did that. no I have never heard of it I will have to look it up. yeah you are right about the vibration, I was trying to get an idea what the dimensions were from a picture, when I had it together it looked way off. But that’s what’s cool about solidworks, it’s easy to make a fix if u mess up. haha (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |

Weren't the dished pistons only for low compression bus engines?
