SAM

Hello everyone,

Me and my brother have some free time, so we decided to start a new project.

Its a vertical, single cylinder hit n miss engine. The engine is inspired by Bob Shores Silver Angel. I'm planing to build the engine about 25% bigger, and I'm using the metric system (SAM = Silver Angel Metric)
Bore and stroke will be 24mm. Flywheel diameter 100mm

Enjoy!

Hello Yogi!

I am a big fan of the shores engines. I'll be lurking! Good luck with the build.

Some more pictures of our progress...

We had a good day today, and got a lot done. Let me start with pictures of the cylinder head.

I'm not going into detail how we produce the parts, instead I'll post lots of pictures.
Let me know if you guys have any questions. I'll be more than happy to provide more info... ;D

Enjoy,
Yogi

More progress today, we are down to the small (and lots of 'em) bits and piece...
Especially the rocker arms are a lot of work, and as my brother puts it a pain in the a&$ 8)
(it will be worth it though)

Getting close to start with the assembly.

Today was day 7 of the the project and about 110 hours between the two of us.

Enjoy!

Yogi,
You and your brother are putting out some very nice machine work.
I'll be following this thread, this engine is sure to be top notch.

Regards,
Mike

Here is a short video to show the fit of the piston in the cylinder.

We lapped the cylinder to a very close tolerance. The piston is made 0.01mm (0.0004") smaller then the bore.

Thanks to all the die hard forum users (Pete, Steve, George and Mike) for all the encouraging words.

Hello everyone,

Another day, another dollar... or in our case some more parts... ;D

Finished more parts today, and started to assemble the engines. There is still plenty of work to do, but we are getting closer for the first start attempt.

Enjoy!
