Is BANG a term they taught you in engineering school? I just glanced through & thought yer engine blew up since it started off w/a BANG at TDC :eek:. Then noticed it came w/ a "full charge". :eek: If it had started w/ Intake stroke, then would have assumed BANG meant Ignition.
J/K

BTW 4 BANGer is a term for a 4 cyl.

:cool:

Of course Ganey! It's a highly technical term that most people just throw around all *****-nilly. Takes a specially trained engineer to use it in the proper context :lol:
