Looks good Ed. Nice work on the eccentric strap. That's a good challenge for someone starting out. You'll have a runner soon.

Cheers,
Phil

Just read this topic.

Did you know there is a Yahoo group for Hasbrouck engines?

Do you know Village Press has released a book with the plans for all 10 of Rays engines? These are the full plan sets, with every part detailed, just like the paper plans Ray used to sell.

I belong to the yahoo HasBrouck group and I am using the book to build the #3 engine. Thanks for the good info. Ed

 

[Ed]

this is how I made the flywheel. I used a 1" thick counterweight from a tractor. Cut the extra off with a saw,then used a 4 jaw chuck changer to a 3 jaw.changed to a mill to drill the holes.

All parts are done. Now to put it together.

Looks good Ed. Seems like you got the heavy stuff done, so you're pretty close to a runner.

Cheers,
Phil

Great job Ed can't wait to see it all assembled!!!

My engine is put together how do you time the valve?There are 2 adjustments the eccentric and the screw adjustment at the valve end. Any help would help. Thanks Ed

Ed,
In post #13, there is a picture of the valve. As it appears, the full outside diameter of the valve is on top. That is approximately the position you want the valve in at either TDC or BDC. That is, at TDC or BDC you don't want any air to enter the cylinder in either side. Then, adjust the eccentric so that the valve rocks left and right in equal amounts.

An easy way to see what the valve is doing is to mark the end of the valve with a black marker and watch it rock back and forth as you turn the engine over.

Looking forward to your success

Cheers,
Phil

Hi,

What did you use for the black color on your engine parts ? Looks great !

Hi Toolznthings,

Where did you post pics of your engine? I see it in your avatar but can't find your post.

Cheers,
