     I found this nifty site a little while ago. Great visuals of how MC four stroke twins operate. Great learning/teaching tool. There are animated cut aways of EVO, Twin Cam and the BMW "boxer" engines. Use the "play" button to cut away more or less in the graphic. Have fun!

    I love those engine cut aways that and the old style engine isometric view of the assemblies. Thanks for both

     Not to up the ante, but here is a site with cut aways of some of the craziest engines evey made. Including the ever mysterious Atkins engine (what the hell does that thing do) to the Wankel engine (my favorite, I think).

    Again a cool site, Thanks. I believe the Atkinson is one of the antique farm machine engines. Very interesting crank setup. You can see them at many different events. Some run on fuels as exotic as paraffin.
