I wish I had the resources to pursue testing of angled quench in a four stroke. Would be interesting.panic wrote:My point is not that I have an answer, but why aren't these factors being discussed? You can't buy a piston or cylinder head with any of these variables - does this mean they are already known to be meaningless or negative? 2-stroke engines had angled quench 40 years ago.
The squish discharge is (almost?) the only 2-dimensional event occurring in the chamber. Why?
CAD/CAM permits a dome with 1, 2, 3 etc. shallow-angled ramps where the dome exists now, coming to .035" of matching recesses in the chamber. This will rotate the squish charge in whatever direction you want - towards the plug, assist chamber flush toward the exhaust, blah.
Bueller? Anyone?
