that is one very nice engine, it has a fair kick to it when it fire's. you must have very good compression.

Bernd:
 :lol:  :lol:      I don't know Chuck, I wouldn't stand behind Tom if you think he's got good compression.   :lol:  :lol:

Now the engine, yeah, I'd say it's got darn nice compression.

Very nice Tom. Going have to check out your build over on HMEM now.

Regards,
Bernd

OKTomT:
Thanks it has less then 3 to 1 compression but it has a 6 inch stroke in the video above I have the timing at about 30* atdc. here is a video of the first start at tdc
I am really surprised how well the slide valve seals but its slow to open and close .     Tom

Bernd:
Tom,

I can now understand why those old auto's they showed bounced around so much when they were idling.  :D

Looks like you need to bolt that table down so the motor doesn't dance all over the place too.

Bernd

OKTomT:
I took Bernd's  advice and bolted her down before she ran away. :thumbup:
Built a mixer and coolent tank and got it running a little better . I still need to plumb the tank.    happy holidays  Tom
