It may look old, rusty and worn but the moment this engine fires up, you can see more than a century of engineering principles come alive. In a typical four-stroke gasoline engine, the piston and valves work through a precisely timed cycle: intake, compression, power and exhaust. The air-fuel mixture enters the cylinder, gets compressed, and is ignited by the spark plug. The rapidly expanding gases then force the piston downward, converting combustion energy into mechanical motion through the crankshaft. The cutaway view makes the process especially fascinating because you can actually see components such as the spark plug, valves, valve springs and piston working together. Modern engines may be far more sophisticated, but the fundamental idea behind the four-stroke cycle remains remarkably recognizable.

A multiplier needs two things: a trustworthy publish date and a duration. At least one is missing on this record (on Instagram the publish date is often just the collection time) — so we are not making a multiplier up.

The numbers
All of it comes from the API. If a value is missing you see a dash — nothing is estimated in its place.
📈 Growth history
The real view record that builds up as we measure the video again and again.
Only a small share of the videos in our pool have more than one real measurement. This one was measured once (or always at the same value) — rather than drawing a meaningless flat line, we say so.
