I dont see how side loading would be any different than any other engine with this particular stroke/rod ratio
Wow. Everybody can just ignore anything I said earlier. Apparently I'm the only one that stayed awake for more than two days in geometry class. I'm out.
Rod angle and skirt load look like they do weird chit in this design.
What would you suggest for a fella in my position? What is out there you might approve of?

^^^This is what I was referring to when I mentioned the side load on those pistons. The cylinders are not inline; they're offset and yet still perpendicular to the crankshaft. Obviously, VW and some others found a way to make it work, I just don't know how. Bodacious, sorry I got the wrong impression from you, I've been on here for ten years now and there are way too many douchebags attacking me lately. Just got used to getting defensive.Rod angle and skirt load look like they do weird chit in this design.

7k or more.
I saw a vr6 vw golf go over 205mph at the texas mile. With a single borg warner 70+mm turbo. So it was making probably close to 900hp.
BUT, what Archie is wanting to accomplish with this same platform is 4x that much HP.
I'm curious how low of TQ archie thinks he can get it down to while burning normal #2 diesel. I understand that's the need/desire to spin it to the moon but actually getting it to and survive is gonna be interesting to see unfold.
So far we're talking about welding up a block. Is this like 3D printing a block with a welder? I laugh but seriously, is that the gist of it?
What about the crank? rods? pistons? valve train? What diesel fuel injection system can handle 10K RPMs? Anything out there anywhere currently doing that?
I like Fusion 360 but for very complex designs it tends to bug out and slow wayyyyyy down. The idea behind it is that all of the components for assemblies are in the same file along with the CAM. (Hints the Fusion name).
This is awesome for simple parts but anything with a lot of components and sketches tends to eventually slow to a snails pace. Don't let that scare you away as there is a way around that once you get a part where you pretty much want it.
