Another version of how not to build a model engine
<< < (28/41) > >>

Thanks again, guys :wave:.

Hopefully this thread shows the pitfalls, that are to be avoided, when designing/building a test engine. And also, how to make the construction more durable.

David D, that saying isn't familiar to me, but I'm quite sure, that it fits for me, as I'm too stubborn to give up on this project.

Anyways, the engine is almost assembled, and the valves and camshaft are adjusted.

Tomorrow it's time to test, if how the engine runs.

Engine was bit stiff at first, but now it runs again :beer:.

But the recently made spark plug (on the left) failed, and started to leak :


It is now replaced with the older plug (on the right side).
sorveltaja:
At this time, the engine takes more persuasion to get it to run, than before.

But when it finally gets going, it runs more stable than ever. And even longer time than before.   

Crappy video:
