Stunning build.
Arse sideways, you did well to point out that the concern over coefficient of expansion is not an issue if using a thin layer of epoxy. I...
Epoxy by itself is too flexible. Additives will stiffen it. I was instructed to use glass microballoons. When I tried to mix them in the...
As dampening vibration was just mentioned (and I'm sensitive to it) i will add that it has never been a problem for me with these boat engines I...
Sean, I agree with your thinking. I did not know the detail you provided about water jet cutting . thanks I wonder how much precision matters...
That is impressive. well done
With the oil scraper loose enough to spin, perhaps the piston could be pushed out at that point but with rusted cylinder walls it might hang up....
what about the part of the piston outside of the hole saw cut? Did it have structural integrity so you could use a long punch to move it or...
Clever to use oil that way.
If the hole that you sawed simply released pressure on the rings, that is awesome cleverness. If I read it properly, does the piston then...
It happened to me when I put rack and pinion steering in upside down (on purpose) turning the steering wheel left and it went to the right, turn...
I read that in restoring a single cylinder stationary engine with a stuck piston, one could braze a grease fitting into a spakplug and pump the...
Randy Dupre ran his Mercruiser engines to around 6500 rpm at Maxton. He experimented with both long stroke and short stroke engines. When my...
Reducing the compression ratio to about 8:1 helped my engines than anything else they ran much cooler with the timing advance that I could run and...
Sean My first engine hydrolocked after 2 yrs use (600 miles). Doing that split the cylinder its entire length so I'd not call it strong. It...
