That’s an interesting comment. What first occurs to me is the friction between the sleeves would really be something to contend with. Secondly, the weight of those sleeves would be a lot more than the valves we now use. But on the other hand, they are very compact! As you say, maybe fresh eyes and a different point of view would find a way to make this a useful technology again! Thanks for your comment 👍
I’ve always wondered about these engines, since I got a magazine as for a 1915 Willys-Knight and it extolled the virtues of this design.
Those cars are so precious
What in incredible collection of cars and equipment. As always thanks for sharing all of this with us! Both the knowledge and the sights.
That’s great, and I really appreciate your encouragement!
That’s new to me and the cars themselves are just in incredible shape 😀🇨🇦
Thank you!!
Thumbs up great video
Big thanks
Fascinating. I always thought the big 1920-1930s Daimlers that had sleeve valve engines were cool.
Is this Moter considered a two stroke or four stroke
It’s a four stroke with unusual “valves”
You would think with today's manufacturing/metallurgy/machining/electronic fuel injection etc etc this engine design should be revisited...?
