Two more weeks gone by! Haven't been able to do much...... ::) Spent a lot of precious time on balancing the pistons, separately. Displacer needs 14gm at flywheel rim, piston needs 7gm . Made a lovely curved weight, guessing at a final weight of 14 gms. Riveted in place between the two 90* throws. Remembering to bias 2/3 towards the displacer. The engine swayed from side to side!! :palm: So I took it off, but left the rivets in place as a talking point...... :thumbup: Decided it was time for another run. Less heat this time. I was surprised, and delighted....... Still to be pulled apart again, for final locking pins, and sealer. But, looking good, for when it's run in. :D David D |
