Default Engine Air Flow Direction & Inertia

Hi Chris YOUR statements are true, just "garbarge" Tech.

Your answer from ME = NO

There are three MOST important items in order :

#1 is inertia of the moving mass including the Valve Weight

#2 is the Air Flow direction from intake to exhaust with that flow ALWAYS being the same direction, (in/out)

#3 is the Pumping Loss HP required, the pressure on the top/bottom of the piston.

Sure other items have merit such as Friction Horse Power.
