Cool high-speed video of a valve in a ford 427 sohc running at 9500rpm. The oil seeping in slow motion around the rocker is mesmerizing. Other videos by the same people of other engines, too.

The description says the big cam almost pushes the valve spring to coil bind. It doesn't look close to that. Is there some other condition that qualifies coil binding?

It says in the comments that it isn't high-speed video, they just put a strobe on it to match the engine's RPM. So the oil bubbling and moving about is actually in real-time.

Dual exhaust ports maybe? Doesn't look long enough to have 24 cylinders, at least not at that displacement, and it certainly sounds like a big V12. It actually sounds a lot like the relatively puny 27-liter Merlin V12,

I'm no MechE, so correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't coil bind happen when contact is made between consecutive coils? Even at its most compressed, there seems like like at least one wire diameter between coils.

You're right about what coil bind is, and I still think it's close to getting there:



I think it's the funky lighting but the way it oscillates so much faster when it's fully compressed tells me that it's close.

I think it's just that the light is a bright point source--it's just illuminating the top half of the wire, so you're only seeing half of each coil.

This is what happens when you don't let people drink.

It's not even drifting, it's literally having an accident on purpose and hoping that you don't hit something... and "hoping" doesn't always work out.

I'm beginning to suspect that there are simply no curves in Saudi roads, and this is how they go about hooning in the absence of corners to screw up.

What i dont understand is why all their cars are toyota camrys or honda accords... if these guys care so little about their cars that they do this why dont they just spend some more and import a proper v8 RWD car so they can really just be complete idiots in it WITHOUT resorting to essentially losing control of the car at 100mph on purpose.
