This Honda Engine Changes Its Piston Stroke! #honda #engine #fast #facts #shorts #japan #exlink

It's all fun and games untill you try and get it balanced properly

That extra link is known to wear out quick!

Complexity. Nothing makes an engine more reliable.

Isn't this a modern version of the Ackinson cycle cir. 1850?

What could possibly go wrong

This is kind of like Nissan's VC engine.

Yea cause extra rotational mass and basically a second crankshaft is a good idea

Wouldn’t it just be simpler to keep the long stroke and then keep the valves open until it’s halfway through the compression so you get the same effect but much more mechanically simple?

Fantastic! More tiny parts to break!

So more parts for more to go wrong........ awesome 😒👍.

Isn’t this kind of like Atkinson Cycle?

Looks the VC turbo Nissan using on their new Xtrail....

Nothing works better like making more moving parts.

More parts, more problems.

Wouldnt that add stress and wear to the links, especially the first one? Engineering would have to upgrade that one.

This looks like fun to work on.

Honda is the best motor made . They actually care about what they make and design

My ex left me because of this technique

Why not just have the same long stroke for the intake and change the valve timing so the compression doesn’t start till the piston reaches the same position in the cylinder?

If it used a longer stroke on intake, it would naturally make more power by pulling in more air.
