Hanno,

Not a very intense explosion / burn when the plug fires the mixture and note how the flame burns around the inlet valve seat. I am not sure this is filmed within and engine, more of a mock up as the mixture is probably not compressed. Be interesting to hear other views.

Richard,

I would expect a more intense burn too and seem to recall seeing footage showing this.

Nevertheless an interesting shoot showing some of the workings of an internal combustion engine.

Default sick

If it is a working motor it is a sick one considering it is burning back to the inlet valve . They would be getting a few blow backs into the carby

I Doubt very much that there would be any Colour to the combustion, let alone a yellow flame. The valve timing seems wrong. The exhaust valve opens late, and there appears to be no scavenging from the exhaust. ....It must be a mock up.
