Some of you may have seen this, but thought I would post here if other have not.. long, but good and informative to help familiarize us with our engines... For those of us who enjoy continuing to learn..   some of it is pretty basic,..

Best part, this video will still be applicable to piston aircraft engines one hundred years from now ;-) Of course, Lycoming, now part of SoftTwitFaceGoo corporation, will have the video and all references and copies of overhaul manuals destroyed worldwide under new powers granted to it under TPP (that's Trans Planetary Partnership, your all you alls thinking I'm trying to stir up another political thread) and charge you $343763436572506 for base overhaul in addition to a monthly intellectual property fee of $4656246. Good news is that in order to enforce the monthly fee, your ignition will now be electronic (I'm kidding of course, it will still be old fashioned mags, now with gears made of recycled egg cartons, with a 10 hour inspection interval). A separate, satellite linked module, requiring two extra batteries and a third standby alternator will be connected to the landing gear switch, refusing to lower it until VerizonPornHub verifies your payment status.

Interesting how very little has changed with the internal combustion engine over the past 140 some-odd years, especially when one considers how much technology has changed in other areas.

For example, a 1955 21" Admiral black and white TV may have weighed a couple of hundred pounds, while my 52" LCD TV may weigh 20 pounds, yet they do the identical task and with a converter box the Admiral could still be used today. The same could be said of the ENIAC computer and an iPhone. Yet the ICE works essentially the same way as it did then and some parts haven't changed at all, such as spark plugs and camshafts. Amazing.
