The crank has more inertia than the valve train, I'm trying to tell you that a cylinder won't entirely fill up with water, but it can fill enough to cause compression high enough that during the compression stroke on one cylinder, it can cause enough of a strain on the cams to slow or halt the motion of the cams while the inertia of the crank and attached pistons is harder to overcome, which can allow enough extra rotation to allow the pistons to contact the valves. Valves hitting pistons do not bend valves, pistons hitting valves bend valves.
That doesnt matter, no valves move in the cylinder during the compression stroke. THe pressure could be 2000 psi and it wouldnt matter. Valves only move on the intake and exhaust strokes. If there is no valve movement on the cylinder with the comrpession stroke, then the cams dont even touch the rockers meaning no valvetrain movement is goin on in that cylinder.
Does anyone else understand him?
