vitovito240 Posted December 30, 2005 Report Posted December 30, 2005 what exactly is a reed (vforce reed) and what do they do? Quote
Shee-Male Posted December 31, 2005 Report Posted December 31, 2005 Its like a s-stroke intake valve. google it. Quote
bad94shee Posted December 31, 2005 Report Posted December 31, 2005 They help create and maintain intake velocity into the crankcase. Quote
2003LimitedBanshee Posted December 31, 2005 Report Posted December 31, 2005 A simplistic view would be essentially like overheard (or flathead for that matter) intake valves in a standard for stroke engine. They essentially control the flow (timing) of the fuel/air mix into the cylinders. The VForce system is the more preferred reed design because it has twice the petals due to its configuration. This allows the reeds to open half as far and still flow the same amount of fuel and air. This leads to extended reed life, because the reeds do not have to open as far; as well as higher absolute flow capabilities. Quote
