Looking for V2 Magnum plans by Steven Pierce

[V 45]

I found this engine while doing some surfing..actually found an email but came back undeliverable. I would like to try and make this...Steven Pierce's 60° V-twin motorcycle engine. This engine is run on CO2. The scale is about 1/16 and it is made from brass and aluminum. It has a 1/4" bore and 1/4" stroke and is called the "Maxum Magnum."

I think that engine was a winner of the Sherline machinist shootout about 7 or 8 years ago.

It's a very nicely done engine and I would like to make it !! Still looking !!

I think that engine was a redesign of David's original twin.

Steve,
That is the engine I'm working on now. It looks a lot different tho...maybe I'm wrong. I'm VERY NEW to this !!!

What I meant by that is I think he took the engine you are working on and made it to look like a Harley motor.

Ok Steve...I see what you mean...I went back and looked at it again. It does look similar once I really looked at it with the flywheel and all. Sorry to disagree !!

I am guilty of it myself. I downloaded the same drawings and mine ended up looking like a Chevy V8. Inside it has the same rods, pistons, ball valves . . . . .

Steve..That's very cool to come away with the V8 from those plans !!

Anyone have an idea how the the heads are mounted on the magnum version? The plans have a six bolt pattern...but the magnum has nothing on top !!
Thanx again... V 45

You could screw the head on with bolts. If the head had an OD that had a fine thread the cover you see could be screwed onto the head.

 

[V 45]

Thanx again Steve !! I think that you are correct about that. I haven't done any internal threads like that at all. Not sure I am near that level yet. I'll keep at the project I'm on now and just make something more demanding each time.
Thanx again... V 45

Maybe the 'valve covers' are a seperate part and just a light press fit onto the head ?

 

[V 45]

A press fit !! Great idea if it is. Would be a lot easier to do...Thanx again V 45
