Usually engines dont fire right at tdc. Takes a moment for flame to propegate. When tuning a car ignition timing is where you find alot of power. You add advance but not so much that your igniting too early causing detonation. Thats how you break pistons. On the opposite end if you did ignite at tdc you would actually be pushing on the piston after it was on the way down losing power.
Either that or the valve seats are so worn down that the valve doesn't appear to be opening much. They only had a quarter of an inch of lift when they were stock, so valve seat recession can cause big flow problems.
Such a little valve opening)) Now I see why it has such a low horsepower from stock engine. I know gas was bad in these days, many people used kerosene or anything that burns. But these valves - oh maaan)))
@@krankenvagen7437 I mean their lift)) Sorry for poor English. Seems like if you mill the head and replace the cam, it would improve the flow inside the engine. Right now it looks like breathing through a clogged nose
No that's a Ford 150CID engine. the hemi did not come out until the mid to late 1960's The first Hemi was a Mopar 440-6 use in a 1965 Dodge Charger for the 1966 NASCAR Daytona 500 race then it was revamped to a 427, 440-2, 440-4, and the 527, now is just a small V8
I live down south of Castle Rock Co. Can I come up and drive it. I have always wanted to drive a model T. I will let you come down to my property (70 acars)and you can off road it, I have a creek you can cross with it. We can blow some stuff up with tannerite aswell
Wow i never knew my girlfriend and car engines had so much in common
Lmfao!!
So true she does!
Weird to see l how much piston shape has evolved over time.
That piston looks crazy
Going for the ultra dome look and HIGH COMPRESSION 🤣😂
@@coryerneweinhigh compression being 6:1 lol
@@theeoddments960 6:1 ...I actually laughed out loud👍
@@theeoddments960 It was more like 4:1 because the gas was so bad
Damn talk about a non interference engine
Holy mother of valve seat recession, those exhaust valves don't look right.

...and for added fun, this engine has manual spark advance, so you have to adjust the ignition timing on the fly!
@iroll You don't need much advance at 500 rpm.
Best teacher ever! Thank you!
Putting dished pistons in these increases the power and speed significantly without a need for further modification
Nice to see you are trying to get rid of the heat issue
Looks like the exhaust cam lobe is wore down the valve hardly ooened.

The exhaust valve seat is screwed. It’s probably sitting 1/8” lower than it should.
@@camerongassaway1339they need a radical lift roller iskendarian cam in that old 4 banger & learn it what breathing is!!!!!!!!!!

Come on, they're average, perhaps huge... At least they got a good personality
Not only poor octane fuel, these had a compression ratio of about 5:1, but you really can't complain when it's basically a luxury tractor for the era

Yeah, i was joking, but you're right. These engines are optimized for the terrible fuel that was around in those times.
Good explination of the SSBB and shows it well
Good job Tommy
Intake compression power and exhaust
It must burn so much oil with how little cross hatching the cylinder walls have
I wonder if the shape of that piston made a channel for compression loss to happen
Yeee!
The cylinder doesn't move down. The piston does.
😦
It's a hemi

Spark happens before tdc
Ayo you gotta say !!NO DIDDY!! After that my boy
Thought he was talking about an ig or of chick at first.
Nice job on the video young man.
And my ex-girlfriend!
Yeah Tommy maybe intake stroke compression stroke, power stroke,exhaust stroke, little to xxx
So that's why cars are like women
