Analysis of cylinder pressure using a light spring card with a non-firing cylinder at varied RPMs.

LIGHT SPRING CARD - NOT FIRING. REVS: VARIED. Cards taken at 1250 and 2400 r.p.m. - Exhaust Manifold on. These demonstrate that the pressure builds up in the cylinder to a greater extent when running at a high speed than when running at a low speed, also that it decreases rapidly below 2000 r.p.m. ----------------- | ||
