My name is Fernando, I'm Brazilian but I live in Ireland, I'm currently a cnc turner, but before I was a cnc milling machine.

I am very grateful for the acceptance of the forum.

Let me know, about available projects, I have big doubts mainly regarding the lubrication and cooling of small combustion engines, tips are welcome..

Regards,
Fernando Luis Toni
 
Welcome Fernando!

What type of engine is it that gets your intrest? Gas, steam, air? There are many here that can answer your questions. Just need to ask.

Hi stevehuckss396 , Thank you for your attention.

I have a keen interest in running a small V8 gasoline engine.

I'm looking for support in literature and projects, I just found a book to buy on Amazon, I confess that at the beginning I'm a little lost.

Many thanks,
Fernando.
 
How small? There is the Eric Whittle V8. It's an aero engine that is fired by glow plug. About as small as it gets.

The Little Demon V8 is a bit bigger. It's more conventional in that it runs on gasoline, fired by actual sparkplugs using a distributor.

There are a couple larger yet including the challenger, the Black Widow, and the shillings.

Once you pick what you want to build don't be afraid to ask for help. There are many many talented people that can and are more than willing to help.

I would like to run one (Little Demon V8). Before designing my little lathe and milling machine, I sketched it roughly in order to define the machine's courses.

I chose the model, because I am passionate about V8 combustion and because it can be machined in small machines, and not as small as a micro V8.

A friend is about to give me an aluminum material with 125x125x195mm, I think it would make a nice block for Demon.

Many thanks Steve.

Fernando.
