    VW Beetle engine 1/5 scale

    I can’t answer that question, but a dual carb setup would be awesome and would make the intake manifold(s) simpler if that is a direction you would be interested in. Something to think about as you go along.

    VW Beetle engine 1/5 scale

    I grew up around bugs and such and would like to do a project like this at some point. Nice looking work.

    Chinese work culture

    I am planning to visit the building of the pyramids first thing when I get my time machine finished. That is, if I can get it to work, it turns out that time travel is not as easy as I thought.

    Upshur's opposed twin engine

    So turn the flywheel so one of the intake valves is at full lift of it’s valve an note the position of the flywheel. Now turn the flywheel the opposite way that you want the engine to run ~ 202 degrees and set the exhaust cam lobe at max lift of it’s valve and secure to camshaft (of course, on...

    What's wrong with my engine.

    Suck, squish, bang, blow… That must be the self aligning cylinder design that is able to compensate for various other issues automatically. It probably just needs a new accordion type of intake boot and it will be good to go.

    Fantastic tool auction

    Insane and, of course as the narrator says, WOW! Worth the watch.

    Suggestions for First I.C. Engine

    How about a set of points and condenser for a, say, 1972 dodge whatever. Probably 10-20 bucks. Glad you picked the Webster.

    3D printed steam engine

    I printed this one a while back and it worked out pretty well. I didn’t worry about making things super sealed, it is happy when things are nice and loose and runs on low pressure just fine . I thought I might build one from metal someday. There are lots of others to choose from I’m sure...

    1/3 Scale Ford 289 Hi-Po

    You should probably make a scale pair of pliers for when you have use them to jump across the solenoid. As well as a stick or screwdriver to hold the choke open. Aw yes, the good old days, except it was usually 20 below (Fahrenheit) when we had to use these methods. Awesome build and details!!

    Upshur Vertical(s)

    Here’s a little proof and enjoyment! Sorry about the garden tools in the background, I need to work on my video skills.

    Upshur Vertical(s)

    Well, here is the more to come. I made a spark plug, starter dog, made some time and put some fuel and spark to it. It popped off right away and I thought this was going to be too easy. But the carb was super touchy, and after some time of trying to keep it going, I had a few other issues...

    Upshur Vertical(s)

    Well, after a little break, I made 2 new valve cages slightly larger in external diameters to match for the new clean holes I made in the head, made a new seat cutter and the stars seemed to have lined up. Nice piston bounce and no sign of leaks, yeah! I think all I need now is a spark plug...

    Another Knucklehead, built via castings, as a Draw-Tech design, upscaled

    Once you use one, there is no going back. Unless you down Z the thing onto your part and the ruby ball dismantles itself rapidly (I would never do that). Also, a tool touch pad is awesome for tool changes, it takes care of the Z offset for you.
