Don't waste your time melting Cans as you can see by "swst" video all you end up with is junk. Cheers Willy

Great project. Looking forward to seeing and hearing it run. Cheers Willy

Thank you for taking the time to put your design up for others to look at and possibly build. Looks like a neat engine. May take a run at it when I get my other projects finished. :) Cheers Willy

Good job with this build. Willy

Good job. Enjoying the build. Willy

Job well done Longboy. Like your design and it runs just as good. Cheers Willy

Congratulations. And good job for sticking with it. Lots of people would have given up after the first engine.

If you used rocker arms you could lower the camshafts and put them between the intake and exhaust valves. That would lower the height of the engine. Just a thought.

Looking good Longboy. Will be following along as you build this engine. Cheers Willy

Hi Guys The biggest reason why sticking a bare thermocouple into molten aluminum won't work, is because the insulation cannot handle the heat and the liquid metal will short out the thermocouple. It also sticks badly to the tip of the thermocouple. That is why you need to have the thermocouple...

Thank you for fixing this Hanss. Very nice running engine. Willy

Nice work. Can you give us some details on this project? People are interested.

Hi John I should have referred to the idle speed "sbdtasos" was getting in his video of Post #29. Sorry. In the Video, the motor seems to be idling quit slow for these Camshaft timings. I would guess between 1500 and 2000rpms? Yes it's lumpy but that's expected. Starts very well also...

Hi sbdtasos Thank you for making this information available. What idle rpm would you reliably get using this Camshaft timing? Thanks again for the information. Cheers Willy

Hello Foketry You like machining the tappets instead of using shims, Bucket Shims I think they call them? What Aluminum do you use for your Castings? I also like the Casting method as the machining goes faster, especially if you have alot of mass to deal with. Now before everyone puts their...

Congratulations on selling your motor. I was wondering if you remember what camshaft timing you used? It sounds really nice. Planing on building an engine and would like something similar for the camshaft. Cheers Willy
