There are several broad rules of thumb that provide clues to whether increasing rocker-arm ratio will prove to be a performance boon with a given engine, cylinder head, and camshaft combination.
The typical four-stroke engine is made up of hundreds of parts. These parts are all designed and engineered to work together to make a prescribed amount of power, torque, engine longevity, and other ...
An engine's power production is directly proportional to its air-processing capacity. Internal-combustion engines consume both fuel and air, but the air is far more difficult to ingest than the fuel.
