In an effort to help constantly educate newer customers that come into this market, Skunk2 is going to be launching a series of tech videos throughout the year to help these newer enthusiasts build a better base foundation of knowledge to understand their cars and engines more. While a lot of you may already be familiar with how an engine works, and even how to degree cams, there are always new crops of enthusiasts who come into this board and sport looking for info to learn. And while some people here are more than helpful and open to providing answers (as long as the search function was used of course), there are also a lot of supposed 'tech experts' that simply blast people calling them terms like "newbie" which doesnt really help pave the way to keep this industry going. So, instead of coming out right away and making a thorough tech video on degreeing cams, we figured it would be good to start with the basics first, so that even the new enthusiast who may not really understand the inner workings of an engine can build a better base of knowledge.

The next video will cover degreeing cams. Stay tuned

Here's the video...

 

Nice! it keeps trying to buffer though during the movie even though the clip already fully loaded...?

 

nice interested in seeing the rest.

 

Good stuff!

 

good idea

 

its sad that i felt the need to sticky this...

 

 

good stuff A++

 

A+

 

cool vid

 

Great Video

 

The degree wheel looks to be about 27° off.

I'm over analytical...

 

heyyyyy this clears up a lot of questions i have as a newbie...

 

???....pointer and degree wheel coincide with piston position at TDC
confused what looks 27 degrees off?

 

Mr. Analytical didn't see the pointer.

 

If I was an exhaust valve, I might scream everytime I saw that piston chasing me up into my seat!

 

hey can you ******** at skunk2 stop emailing bs spam. i didnt sign up for it...

kthxby3

 

Well then how did they get your email address? You don't want spam, don't give out your email address. I'm pretty sure that there is a more tactful way of removing your name from a mailing list. Guess this is the way of today and the internet generation. Call them out on a public forum. Why not have the spine and common decency to contact them directly? or you could use the link at the bottom of the emails to have yourself removed from there list...lol

 

i like this method better. and they probably got my email address from this forum. i dont use skunk2 products, nor have i been on their site...

 

I guess your probably right. Now that you mention it, this is probably where they got mine as well. I used the link at the bottom of the emails to unsubscribe and haven't received another since.

 

cool vid, should help alot of ppl understand what their doing.

 

I may be stupid but I don't see the video

 

Strange, dunno why that happened. But its fixed

 

Awesome. Is it possible in the next sets of videos that you can pause the video and still see the screen instead of the other videos on your website?

During some of the 4-stroke action there was a lot of text on the right side and it was gone quickly and I had to hit the scroll on the bottom several times in order to read what you were saying.

 

wow im sure this would help but im on my sidekick and cant see vids /:

you think the great people from Skunk2 could just write about it?
