Hi All, I have just completed my first I/C engine build and would love to share it with likeminded modders. This is my first post on the forum too so will be a bit clunky before I figure everything out. This project had many firsts for me: - 1st time cutting spur gears - 1st time making valves - 1st time making piston rings - 1st time making a vapour carb - 1st time cutting glass Also, the first time using my Sieg SX3 in newly converted CNC/MDI mode (a lot of learning here through smashed carbide and things for the scrap bin). I'll post some details of that online soon too. A huge thanks to all the people having built the Webster before be taking the time to do the excellent write-ups. I learned a lot going through them. Anyway, here she is!! Thanks for looking. P https://youtu.be/d7mlac5DRgQ This build followed the webster engine plans pretty much to the letter (http://www.john-tom.com/html/ICEngines.html) bar the addition of ball races, slightly larger valve block, electronic ignition rather than the contact-breaker points version on the plans and of course a Jan Ridders vapour carb (http://ridders.nu/Webpaginas/pagina_benzinedamp_carburateur/dampcarburateur_frameset.htm) for aesthetics and to keep things simple. |

Whats the best way of uploading pics? Attached or otherwise? Thanks, Patrick |
