A V16 with the same displacement as an inline 8 would have less imbalanced mass, but it would be minimal since an inline 8 is considered perfectly balanced, to begin with, and the only form of improved balance would be the shorter crankshaft (less torsional vibration) and each piston will be smaller, therefore, lighter (less mass, less vibration)

Nowadays if you have 400hp people be like "thats alright" lol Gotta remember that gasoline was of significantly lower quality and octane back then Also remember that that 165hp was what that engine was rated at at 100% duty cycle, kind of like industrial engines are today. A modern high output 4cyl car engine is rated in peak hp and wont last long if asked to put out peak power all the time.

The problem is the modern engine relies on computer chips and circuit boards where in 30 years the parts will be impossible to get. Worse the firmware source code is proprietary so you will not be able to recompile it for a replacement ecu. For a long time maybe even 90 years you can keep using circuit boards from wrecked vehicles though as most vehicles will reach the junkyard with the ECU still working.

The 1930 V16 was only 452 cubic inches. Early 1970’s magazine ads used to show the newly equipped 500 cubic inch V8 alongside the classic V16’s as a nod to show they had actually outdone themselves in regards to offering the largest engine ever produced in the history of production cars. Another great feat achieved by Cadillac.

You should do a longer vid about this car and engine. Love the engine sound. The floor starter foot plunger does two things: engages the starter gear into the flywheel gear and 2) switches on the power to the starter, just like my old 41' Chevy. If you were to very slowly move the foot starter down with the engine running, you would hear the starter shaft gear just begin to catch the top of the spinning flywheel ring gear, which you probably don't want to do. Very simple and reliable system. Thanks
@twoeightythreez
2 жыл бұрын
Its probably a movable pole piece type starter, the foot pedal electrically engages the starter by putting the windings in place, and the actual engagement to flywheel would be accomplished by a bendix drive (literally uses the inertia of the drive gear to allow a screw to plunge the gear out) When the engine starts, the increased speed of the engine relative to the starter disengages the starter from the flywheel. Great design, but if the engine coughs before lighting off, you have to wait for the starter to stop. Modern permanent magnet starters, of course, use an electromagnetic plunger which pulls the gear out and also engages the starter motor electrically. Modern starters have the advantage of remaining engaged until the engine is actually running.

The V12 is the smoothest engine because its firing pattern is evenly distributed. Each cylinder 60° of a total of 360° so 6 cylinders and being a four stroke another 360° and another 6 cylinders gives you one cycle. The only other engine is the flat "boxer" six. Each cylinder 120° in that case and the cylinders are opposed countering each other. All others require counter balancing weight or worse balancing shafts.

Judging from comments below, people seem to think that during the Great Depression everyone was starving. My mom's family lived in a one bedroom apartment, very tight, occasionally they went without dinner during the worst of the depression. My grandfather was literally a salesman on the road, and if he didn't sell, there was no money. It was tough, according to my mom, for about two years. Yet, they always had good clothes, were always clean, of my five uncles three went to college and got degrees, one went into the Navy, one into the Army, all ended up upper middle class. They didn't starve. On my dad's side, my grandpa never lost his job, he was an accountant and made a solid middle class living all through the Depression. They never went hungry. In fact, almost all my family worked during the Depression. Some people did really have a hard time getting even enough to eat, but it was not like that everywhere. There was none of this "taboo to drive a Cadillac". People drove what they had, if they could afford a car. Men bought suits, some people still went on vacations.

My grandfather worked in NYC in the late 1920s early ‘30s. One of his jobs was in a service station. When I was a kid he wrote me a list of all of the different car manufacturers whose vehicles rolled into the station. There were over 100 on his list because there were so many competing manufacturers in the early years. One of the cars on his list was the v16.

Smoothness was the main point of using it. Cadillac did revive the V16 for a concept car on 2003. kzitem.info/news/bejne/04-p2Ix9m3R-enY

Compare it to a 4 cylinder engine, which has 4 explosions in which to turn the crankshaft 720 degrees. The v16 has 16 explosions to do the same work, so the impact of each one on the "vibration" of the car will be far less And that's not even getting into things like configuration of those cylinders (inline vs V or flat engines) etc

I couldn’t see anything of the previous to present eras still starting up as smooth as this 90s years down the line, that just goes to show how greatly things were made in the early to mid 20th century, after the 1950s was the start of the decline of the great industrial workmanship of the western world.

Americans, why did you let greed, lack of social responsibility and lack of imagination ruin you? First you gave away your jobs, than you gave away your pride. So don't wonder whey really beautiful and valuable things are produced abroad.
