Hi, my name is Claude Perron, im from Quebec, Canada, my first language is french, so sorry for my bad english.
As a first engine, im doing the Edwards 5 cylinders. I have made some parts already.
Happy to be here
I'm happy that i saw that thread, i was not aware that we can have different strokes vs angle.
And sorry if i jumped in without introducing myself, i will do it in the right place.
If you look at my third pics, i traced every pistons srtoke. They are all within 0.002" from the master rod.
I'll simulate what 0.002" mean in our ratio tomorrow.
0.175 = 7.25:1
On my drawings, it say 8.5:1
There is only 0.002" difference in strokes between cylinders, i dont think that will change CR that munch one from another.
Here is how i did it.
In my cad soft (CatiaV5) i extracted surfaces of cyl, piston top and head dome.
I generated a volume for tdc and bdc.
You see the volume at bottom left, so i adjuated the lips of the sleeve to get exactly 8.5:1. I did it on the master rod.
The other pic is the "trace"...
