Multiple Valve Engines Tend to Be More Efficient Than Engines

question 38

• B) air velocity is increased-especially at low engine speed; this increases air flow
• C) smaller and lighter valves require less spring tension-less engine power is lost to spring opening drag
• D) all answers are correct
