About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of in-cylinder charge motion and its impact on engine performance.

Originally published 8/25/2021. This episode of Idle Chatter aired in the early days of the podcast. The introduction and audio are a little different from what I use today.

Which occurs is by design of the cylinder head and predominantly the intake port. The cylinder fill pattern will impact every aspect of how an engine runs and it is important to understand this effect.
