Do you have any other similar websites which explain things related to automobiles or aerospace?

It would be if the timing were right. As it is, it's just a physical trigger for deep psychological trauma.

Mechanically, either by a timing chain or timing belt.

Red is exhaust, blue is injection.
Blue opens to inject, piston draws in Piston compress Light (spark) ignites Piston expands from explosion Piston compresses exhaust Red Exhaust valve opens Piston expands because moment Piston compresses Repeat
The exhaust looks early but I am not familiar enough with the mechanics of engines to say definitely.

Nice .. totally forgot about those. Tbh I wasn't much of a Ford fan back in the day, but my cousin ( whose father had been a Ford plant employee so he got discounts ) had several different models over the years .

Not animation. It’s a polycarbonate model. I too thought it was animation until I looked closer at the cylinders and connecting rods.

I had a 1992 Ford Probe with the 3.0 Liter V6 that my cousin gave me for free when my Jeep died. I drove that thing for 5 years with very few issues. It had the flip up headlights as well. I loved that car. I only sold it because I was moving out of state. My sister lived there another 4 years and she still saw it driving around. It was otter-pop blue, which was hard to miss. I remember beating mustangs off the line at stop lights from time to time. It was a fun car.

I think red is fuel injection so blue is exhaust. It should be opening when the piston compresses the second time.

I mean, take off the exhaust manifold and have yourself a peak at them. While the engine is redlining.

Are valves still mechanically controlled by an overhead cam or are they run by the ECU these days.

What part is the exhaust?

You're telling me you see that but you haven't been 180 off on a cam or distributor timing. I know Ive missed a timing belt or chain a few tooths off a lot of times

Exactly! So many didn't realize how sporty and performative it was ... Plus it had the flip-up headlights which were cool af Imo

The Storm was like half of a Camaro. I checked the curb weight of the two. The Geo was 67% the weight of the Camaro. So I checked the power. Depending on specs, the Geo was 57-67% as powerful as the Camaro. So I’m really not surprised you could get that thing moving so fast. The Camaro has a slightly better power to weight ratio, but only by 3lb/hp.

Slap this bad boy in a civic and you’re good to go. Add a piston and a cam if you’re feeling frisky.

It seems like the exhaust valve is closing a bit too soon?
