There is a bonus to this here. What you have is a heavy duty 11 mm wrench. :D Kel

Hello Edi. In regards to the cooling I can only go by my experience with this engine, and I cannot say the same results will happen with different builders. That being said, while running the TI4 It would stay cool and would run for hours. One day I kept it running for over 6 hours with...

Great job on the distributor Edi!! I am glad to see the delrin worked good for you with the magnet bracket. Keep up the great work, your parts are coming out top notch. Kel

You could fill it with solder, or even turn it down to the bottom of the hole if the the head does't get to thin. Kel P.S. I like the idea Chuck, sure beats making one out of small hex stock.

Check it with a magnet. A while back I received a 14" round x 2.25" thick gear from a large motor grader. My friend said it was brass, and it sure does look like it. I got it home, cut a chunk off and machined it. It machined ok but much tougher than brass and bronze. later I...

We order OFHC copper quite often at work from McMaster Carr. It's shocking how expensive that stuff is. That piece could cost around $100 or more. Kel

Hello Edi, Great work on those parts! I am glad to hear you were able to follow my instructions in regards to the spark plug hole. I was looking at the bevel gears you made, something seems a little off. The sides of the gear teeth should be parallel and the valley should be triangular...

This may seem crazy, but we do it all the time at work. We use either a worm drive circular saw or a 10 inch chop saw with normal carbide tipped wood blades. It can get pretty loud so wear ear protection and dont forget the saftey glasses, but it will make a nice cut. we have cut a 3"...

Awesome Job Brian, I have been following along since the beginning and I find your design skill and problem solving is truly top notch. Thank you for sharing the drawings of all your conceived contraptions with us. I am sure they will get built many times over. Kel

Very nice work Edi! Your brass sheet work is top notch, and a fine job with the CNC. Keep up the good work! Kel

There a a few different type of "Philips" screwdrivers. If the screwdriver you are using has a blunt tip than it is a philips, of which you will need a different size for different screws. The other type of "Philips" is called a Reed & Prince, which has a sharp pointed tip, and is not actually a...

Your doing a fine job SMG! That is a pretty slick looking oil pan. Can't wait to see more! Kel

Chris, The link that Tin gave you is great. If all you need is a small piece, I would suggest clisking on the "Odds & Ends" link. They have a large variety of cutoffs to choose from in some large sizes for about $3-$3.75 a lb depending on the piece. Kel

Great start on the engine! I like the one piece oil pan, that should allow for more oil. I can't wait to see more! Kel

Brian, I am one of those who has been watching every step of the way and excitedly view all new postings, but I have not posted. In fact, this is my first post on the new forum. My new job (Which I LOVE! btw) has been taking up all my time, if I am not at work, I am at home, thinking about...
