I don't have a degree in physics so I am looking for a more pedestrian explanation. The question is what happens to the air in and around the top piston ring gap at "high" RPMs?
Does it go supersonic as compression forces it through the gap? Does it get forced through? If supersonic, what are...
I recently saw stainless steel (supposedly) wheel studs for sale. I was also under the impression that there were no suitable stainless alloys for such an application.
Am I correct, or are there now stainless (or similar) alloys that can be safely used for automotive wheel studs...especially...
OK i did a search here and did not find anythig but if there are threads about his please point me to them.
Yes it's the age old question... Do phenolic (or any insulating) intake manifold spacers really work? Do they actually cool the intake change and make power?
I vote 'No'. But after...
You guys were so helpful with my last driveline question that I thought I'd toss another one out to the collective group...
WRT racing clutch disks and a single mass flywheel...

Are sprung centered clutch disks primarily for the reduction of noise? (chatter)
There are some...
I've got a guy with a big turbo on a small car that used to make 100hp. Now he's pushing 350 and breaking gears all the time (imagine!)
Anyway he wont pay for proper racing straight cut gears and shafts so he wants to try heat treating.
Is there anyway that a heat treatment could be this...
I did a search and didnt find anything along these lines...I'm working on developing a high output race motor based on a 3L VW VR6. If you are not familiar with the VR6 here is a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VR6#Technial_Information_and_Engine_Specifications
Basically its a V6 with 1...
In an automotive racing application where would you find a use for 'high speed' rebound? Other than suspension failure :) I'm not sure I understand where 'high speed' rebound would come into play and therefore dont understand the need for 'high speed' rebound settings. Sales gimmick? Are 3...
I've got access to Solidworks but before I invest the time I have a question I have not yet found an answer for.
If I have 2D isometric CAD files, can I import these into SW and then have SW generate any sort of 3D model from them?
