Pretty sure this is from the Youtuber “Project Farm.” The Guy is awesome. Try’s out additives and calls out engine myths with experiments.

That was my first thought too. He has a plexi-glass head for the mower engine which I thought was pretty cool.

i do love how humanity found a way for basically all of our fast movement needs to be powered by explosions

It's not an explosion, the fuel-air mixture burns on an even flame front through the cylinder. 1/2

Lawnmower's nothing compared to a 44kV General Motors HEI ignition. Like getting TASED.

My HEI started sparking thru the insulation, the engine still runs. Might need new cables or a fire extinguisher depending what comes first.

OHV engines are nearly universal nowdays, but the side-valve design in this case leaves more clearance for the see-through cover.

How near will the plug be to the piston?

7 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 2

Depends on the motor. There are some designs that have up to 1/8" clearance, some are measured in the single thousandths.
