Nov 3, 2009 - don't make me laugh plz. try to google about mistakes of x86 architecture, engeenering of the cpus, how templeratures affect to transistors and so on. rule 1 :D study more

exn666 Says:

Nov 3, 2009 - and of course I agree about the programmers. it's part of their work to make a mistakes :)

Nov 3, 2009 - thats wrong. they can make calculation mistakes because of the way we represent decimals.

carbidegrd Says:

Nov 3, 2009 - ERRR...wouldn't it make more sense to cast the block. Even for Prototypes?

MattUK2007 Says:

Nov 3, 2009 - Well said.

Nov 3, 2009 - what about the internal oil passages?

Nov 4, 2009 - Ahhh, machining at its finest , excellent video

Nov 6, 2009 - very very goooood video my firest time see this

Nov 8, 2009 - That is cool as fuck

Nov 9, 2009 - wendeplattenfräser mit kühlwasser? probierts mal ohne, erhöht die standzeit um einiges (nur luft für spanabfuhr)

Nov 9, 2009 - making moulds for a v8 block would be massively expensive just for a prototype, casting only becomes economically viable with mass production ;)

carbidegrd Says:

Nov 9, 2009 - You are wrong. Casting aluminum blocks is done using sand and styrofoam cores and prototyping is very easy. This machined block has no oil passages and lacks full water jackets around the sleeves. The Ford plant in Windsor ran prototypes in this fashion.

Nov 9, 2009 - You need to remember that Matsuura is only showing what this machine can do. Where I worked we 4 of theses making production parts for the Auto industry these moved so fast we had bolt them 18" in the concrete these are fantastic machines

DeanMLFlame Says:

Nov 10, 2009 - you can still make the oil passages for the cam and main bearings. plus a someone using a block like this would be a professional racer with a dry sump oil system

carbidegrd Says:

Nov 10, 2009 - Deep drilling aluminum is tricky. You fight gauling and there are chip clearing problems. This motor could only be used as a drag engine because it lacks water jackets. Anything can be done, but it isn't practical. the beauty of cast blocks is the small amount of waste, reduced machining and no stresses set up by massive material removal.

Nov 10, 2009 - that is very very cool...

Nov 11, 2009 - Nice comment my friend. I agree with your point 100%.!!

TheMaxisimo Says:

Nov 13, 2009 - Are you sure there are no water jackets? Look at minute 6:37 onward. Also, oil passages don't tend to be cast in, most are drilled.

Nov 14, 2009 - Kommt immer aufs zu fräsende Material an, aber generell richtig. Ich glaub das macht er zum Schluss eh.

massey4255 Says:

Nov 17, 2009 - that look to me as if it has a water jacket around the lners it has whats called siamese liners and are none removalbe. like shown in this video the water jacket is machined out. if the liners ever crack or rot through usually the block is scrap.

Nov 17, 2009 - Awesom!

JRYANG9000 Says:

Nov 18, 2009 - WOW...thats one hell of a major money making machine right there!!!

silentvoice19 Says:

Nov 18, 2009 - these are usually demo programs and these blocks are never used. The chicago machine trade show does stuff like this......This is all for show this block will be scrapped.

Nov 20, 2009 - if u want a good looking engine bay but without the performance this the the way to go.
