Inlet ports<br />

The inlet port width <strong>of</strong> a piston ported racing engine is deduced in much the same manner,<br />

with the port width to bore criterion for a single port being about 65% <strong>of</strong> the bore dimension,<br />

even though the piston rings may not intrude into the port. As all ports have to fit within the<br />

bore circumference, it is clearly necessary to distribute that available for the exhaust, transfer<br />

<strong>and</strong> the inlet ports. Often the inlet port width is conveniently made to coincide with the carburetor<br />

flow diameter, so the designer allows that dimension to be used, permitting a straight gas<br />

flow path for two sides <strong>of</strong> the intake duct. For a racing engine design with a wide single inlet<br />

port, the corner radii <strong>of</strong> the port need to be very generous around the bdc period by the upper<br />

timing edge <strong>of</strong> that port if a piston ring is not to be trapped, assuming that the rings actually so<br />

intrude. As for the exhaust port [8.14], Chapter 8 includes further comment on noise generation<br />

from the induction system with respect to this port design.<br />

Transfer ports<br />

The transfer port width for calculation purposes can be decided relatively easily. The<br />

geometrical layout can be effected by using Prog.3.4, although the experienced designer will<br />

know that it is mechanically possible to pack in a total effective transfer port width <strong>of</strong> between<br />

1.2 <strong>and</strong> 1.35 times the bore dimension in most loop-scavenged designs. The designer,<br />

experienced or not, will wish to determine the port width criteria in some detail, <strong>and</strong> for this<br />

tedious exercise Prog.3.4 is invaluable.<br />

Fig. 6.16 shows the result <strong>of</strong> a few moments <strong>of</strong> time spent at the computer screen for a<br />

piston ported racing engine <strong>of</strong> 54 mm bore <strong>and</strong> stroke, confirming that the total port width<br />
