Continuing with the radiator. After soldering all the parts on the radiator, I discovered a soldering paste Which produces a lot more clean and nice looking results than the regular soldering wire. I use it on the exaust tubes. Know how for the future projects. Next I worked on the exaust...

Hello! Here are some information on the radiator build. Preparing the material for the top and botton tanks Milling operations done The fins were drilled using the fixture developed by Steve Hucks (forgot to take pictures) Machining the recess for the side plate (could be done on the...

Hi Michael! Very nice project. I will be following this thread. I also have an Optimum BF20 and a D180X300 lathe. Edi

Thanks, Awake! It will also drive the radiator fan that is not installed on the videos. Edi

Hi again! I had a very hard time to make the PeeWee run properly. It insisted of running only with 3 cylinders. The cylinder number 4 was not firing. I have checked the timing several times in order to make sure it was correct. I also checked the point of distributor. Everything was...

Hi! Here is a video after fixing the water leaking to the oil pan. Adjusting the carb. to respond to throtle Next step is to build the radiator. Edi

Hello to all! I finally could test if the water leaking into the oil pan did work. Yes, it worked with the jacket installed on the camshaft tunnel. I have modified the way the water is transferred to the right block bank. Please see the photos bellow. Worked greatly Edi

Congratulations! Very nice building and nice running engine. I also did not have good experience with cast iron rings so, I switched to Viton O Ring. Edi

Hi to all! Reworking the block trying to fix the water liking ito the oil pan do to the porosity of the casting. Reboring the tunnel Turning the tube/bushing I used 0,02mm interference Pressed the bushing into the rebored tunnel Ready to redrilling all the holes I hope it...

Very nice engine. It runs well and the sound is great as well as, nice idle Congratulations Edi

Hi John! Thank you for the suggestion. I have tested again after using industrial Epoxy and did not work. I will follow Steve's suggestion to rebore the cam tunnel and press a tube with Loctite and then ream the bore back to the final bearing diameter (16mm). PS. I just received the brass...

Hi G Jones! Welcome aboard. You will find here great people willing to help with what you need. Good luck Edi

Hi David! I now found it but, the E-bay says that does not send to Brazil. I'm interested on those magazines. Could you sell it directly to me? Thanks, Edi

Hi Steve! I did that. I installed the heads back on the block, without the pistons and crankshaft. I used a Dremel to spin the pump shaft. I found that the water is leaking in the wall of the camshaft tunnel through the porosity of the casting. Now, to not scrap the block, I got find a way to...

Hi David! I search for that but did not showed up. TKS, Edi

Hi! I'm getting water on the oil pan and I can't find where it is leaking. Scratching my head!!!!! I already sealed the OD of the liners to the wall of the block holes. Any ideas where it could be leaking water into the block/oil pan? Thanks, Edi

That's OK Awake. Don't mind! Thanks for the words, I'm still learning with the great people here. Edi

Hi Steve! You are absolutely right. It is getting more stable running every day. It already showed some idle. Tomorrow I will post the new video. I just found today that there is some problem with the water channels, it seems to be clogged. I will need to remove the heads to understand what is...

Hello people! I touched the PeeWee this evening again. I advanced the distributor to around 35 degrees and it started to respond to the throttle but not good enough (thanks Steve). It is now running for a longer time but not much and no low idle. What is the normal idle RPM for the PeeWee? For...

I found that it runs better with the distributor advanced about 10 degrees. It is still not responding to the throttle, maybe some modifications on the carburetor will be necessary. Any hints or suggestions? Will be much appreciated. Thanks, Edi
