Engine Combustion Temps
Engine Combustion Temps
(OP)
I was wondering if anyone would know if the combustion chamber temperatures of a small engine, like a motorcycle engine, could reach as high as heat treating temps. Thanks.

The temperature of metal parts in an engine would vary depending on the shape and position in the chamber. I assume something that protrudes into the chamber, like a spark plug, would run the hottest.
In addition to heat-treating issues, you can get distortion due to heat at much lower temperatures. And, all metals will weaken somewhat as the temperature goes up, even if you haven't reached heat-treating temperatures.
