Why do motorcar engines stop at V12? why isn’t there a V 16 or V20?
In: 43
When I was in high school my shop teacher was in a casual discussion about v12 engines, some of which had four valves per cylinder, and when someone mentioned a possible v16 version he said, “can you imagine doing a valve job on that and having to grind sixty-four valves!?”
Interesting point, Mr. B. Sometimes too much is just too much.
