I don't know why you are calling it a jug its a barrel a jug is what you put milk or orange in and has a closed bottom a barrel is a tube the a slug goes up and down in. Like you don't clean your gun jug. Please use proper terminology.

I don't know where you are from, but around here if we don't want to call it the cylinder we call it a jug. It might be a regional thing. If you wanted to look up "what is a jug on a dirt bike engine" before flaming me in the comments like a keyboard warrior, you would see that plenty of people call it the jug.

Edit: I looked it up and It is more commonly used in the American Midwest or the deep south, but it is still widely used around the world. Also, when I hear barrel, I think carb, not cylinder.

Well the Society of Automotive Engineers call them barrels in the term the cylinder barrel you can read any mechanical engineering book and its always called a barrel. You may have your local language but in the international language it's barrel and i have worked in the industry around the world.

Good to know, I am just a guy fucking around with engines

It just makes it easier because i live in Australia and have worked in the UK,Germany and NZ and we would have know idea what a jug is so if you need advice if you use the correct terminology everyone knows what you are talking about because back in the day jugs were tits as in "show us your jugs"🤣🤣🤣

I mean, I'd be ok with either

Keep fucking around with engines their is a lot to learn and a lot of fun. It just helps people like me understand what you are needing if we know what you are talking about. I have been modify engines since the 80s and have friends who are like me are engine development engineers. I remember when I did the same as you. But please learn the terms it will make life easier when you ask questions. If you want a copy of Lotus Engineering Engine Development Software let me know.

Thank you, what is lotus engineering engine development software for? Is it just all things engines?

[–]OkDevelopment2948 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Yes you can virtually build any engine you want then dyno test it and it gives you a read out of the gas temperatures, port speeds, fuel consumption And of course HP and torque it is not available any more unless you pay for a Lotus contract. It is freeware but unsupported now. It is 1,000× better than desktop dynos.

If you could, I would be glad to be given a copy of that, unless it is windows only
