... Hi Ian, thanks for reply. I guess I didn't ask the right questions (or maybe not phrased correctly?) Anyway, I thought max torque would be at point of max...
Sorry, left out a few things on last reply. the 15~20 degrees should have read max cylinder pressure which will be earlier than max acceleration? The modified...
Peter, I don't know where to look for the modified sine wave which may be shown somewhere I can't find. Is it missing or am I not looking in the correct...
... Peak cylinder pressure is around this 15 deg ATDC point ( depending on ignition timing, comp ratio, rpm and chamber design etc ), and max acceleration will...

Hi Ken and Ian, thanks for replies so far. Heres link to one set of diagrams. http://www.epi-eng.com/ET-PistnVelAccel.htm I think what I'm asking is, will the...
Doh, just did it again, left a bit out The Phil Irving 76degree keeps the piston accelerating (the way I see it) but a 90 degree re-phase, although being...
... Very good article. What's clear is that I was confusing maximum piston acceleration with maximum CHANGE in acceleration ( the latter being around the 76...

Hi Ian, The graphs were probably not the best example (would have used something with a 1.89:1 rod ratio if I could remember where I saw it) but only to show...

Thanks both, I'm going to do a couple of Yamaha 650's as they are easier and much, (much,much) cheaper than Triumph's to experiment with. Already have a long...
