Here is some fantastic video of the flame front and valve action inside an engine.

Makes you wonder how it is all syncrinized..........

That is really interesting. There appears to be quite a bit of "flame" right around the intake valve. Does anyone have a theory why that would be? The intake valve is closed at or near BDC so the valve being partially open cannot be a factor. The only thing I can think of is that the intake valve is probably the coolest component there.

I also found the incoming gas flow to be very interesting. I am sure that engine builders would love to be able to view this type of video as they are porting the heads.

I wonder how they got this video?
