That is freakin' awesome!! 
I was holding my hand in front of the computer in case it came apart and started throwing shrapnel! Now imagine a F1 motor turning 18000 for a couple hours.And..it has to last for multiple races.Pretty incedible

interesting to watch the springs rotate. looks like they change directions also. that may be due to strobe effect. timing doesnt seem right for that.

Very cool!! Now that settles the debate on if the valve springs rotate. YES they do. FYI, camshafts rotate at have the speed of the crank ~ 7000rpm still very impressive.
