Re: [DMCForum] Re: Blinding Martin With Science



I didn't even read Andrew's original e-mail. I was replying ONLY to your 
comment, pointed out to me by another list member of:

"Most performance engines are timed closer to TDC, not advanced. Moving
spark earlier in stroke lowers power."

That's a very sweeping statement. Moving spark earlier in stroke loses 
power eh? QUALIFY your statements. Retarding usually loses power unless 
talking different fuels, advancing increases it until you get into 
preignition. No idea why your Ford lumps produced less hp with more 
advance but it sounds fishy to me - I wouldn't take this one case 
reference as evidence to the contrary of internal combustion engine 
principles.

Don't talk about valves rattling as rpms increase - that can be 
interpreted as any number of things. What you're talking about has a 
very good one-word name - KNOCKING. Over-advancing causes knocking - 
there. 4 Words.

Increasing octane may help because higher octane fuels take longer to
burn.

I've taken apart Renault 30, Volvo B28E and DeLorean dizzy's. All
different.
