Nice vid. I love the way each bolt screws itself in too.

I was on a course once that spent a whole morning explaining 4 stroke theory of operation......why didn't they just show us this ??????

/ahem.......the course was 22yrs ago.

Brilliant! Only one question, how did they get the pistons in without a ring compressor?

If you liked this one then have a learned look through this lot. I use it to demonstrate principles in the physics group - otherwise known as 'them what should know better'

It's those people called customers or owners.

Aha the old Deutz engine vid, very interesting to watch.

Its the current screensaver on my machine at work, in fact.

The engine displayed there is a Ford Duratec model AFAIR.

If anyone wants the screensaver to download, let me know, its about 40 meg or so.

yes please Ciaran

Cheers, Colin.P

Stuck it up on the webspace, but the URL is a bit long, so have shortened it, hence:

The file is 40MB or so. Windows only I'm afraid. Its basically just an EXE that plays a slightly higher res version of the video posted by Robin. Theraputic to look at though.

Fantastic !! thanks Ciaran

No problem, will leave it on there for anyone else who wants it.
