A little off topic maybe but it could be a Vette

Amazing pictures...notice how the plug fires before TDC showing advance. Bill

Very disappointing that they didn't show all of the cycles (exhaust stroke missing). So, I guess it could have been better. One would thik that in this mordern era with all of the technology, small cameras, hi-speed Internet, etc they could have showed everything.

I agree, I kept on watching it thinking I was mistaken that the exhaust stroke was missing, but after I saw it a few times, I realized I was right. I wonder why it's missing.

That is awesome. I completely understand pinhole cameras and fiber optics. But where did the put the camera? It looked like it was between the head and the block. I don't know of any openings around there, unless they drilled a hole.

AWESOME!

I'm wondering what kind of motor that was.I could only see 1 intake valve open but both exhaust valves opened.Cool video though.

Looking at the size of the plug tip vs. cylinder bore size, could be a rice rocket engine.
