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

The Miller cycle holds the intake valve open longer for reduced losses but needs a supercharger to keep the intake charged. I had this engine in my Millenia /wiki/Mazda_K_engine#KJ-ZEM

More parts mean more vibrations, wear and maintenance.

It's the same thing as a compound engine without the extra cylinder. It really should work. I have no faith in modern manufacturing however. I wonder how they're going to screw this up.

Oh that'll be reliable.

keep it. I'm fine with my old 5.7

Atkinson cycle. Hell yeah they did it.

Idle must be pure pleasure or a curse to smooth.

The extra link is a point of failure. More moving parts makes it less reliable

Atkinson cycle engine. Used in most hybrid cars but without the fancy linkage.

Drawback should be the added and uneven speed/moving mass "costing" energy

Surely that mechanism will last forever, due to the fact that its connected directly to the crankshaft...

The higher resistance, the added inertia and increased complexity makes it virtually useless under normal circumstances.

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

This is the so called Atkinson cycle 😊

Maybe I'm just not understanding but you want a longer down stroke when pulling on fuel air for more power . This seems like a bad idea in general more stuff to break.

YEPPPP More shit to break & cost you more to repair it, That sounds about right for car manufactures since 2000 !!

Isn’t this kind of like Atkinson Cycle?

I bet it's hell putting that thing in time

More parts, more problems.

Ah yes Atkinson cycle engine, totally worth the extra complexity over just using the intake valve.
