I have to say Nick, that's one of the nicer rod ends to make and to hold up well with time. I like the tightness of it when it first fits, it shows it will work in, and still be a good snug bearing fit. The soldering is just the icing, but it sure does the trick. jack

I'm still trying to figure out this video posting thing, I reckon most of you'all know you can click on the pic and see it, but I ought to be able to figure out how to post one like the rest of the boys seem to do so well.

Here's her second run, I think her name is going to be "Vlad the inhaler", she runs up between about 350 and a bit over five hundred, a matter of messing with the cam advance. She ran with the weight of the valve working it, but got better revs when I put a light, about .006 wire maybe eight loops spring with an end hooked around the cylinder plate, the other wrapped around the drill rod for the valve. I'll be posting some more when she gets her own burner arrangement and particularly if she gets wheels or tracks. I hung an extra bit of flywheel on one end temporarily and she ran up another hundred revs or so, I think she needs a bit more advance and more flywheel. I'm thinking flywheel mass has much to do with the natural speed, and needs to be matched to bore and stroke with some logic involved. (Should of studied that steam engine class closer and with more attention to the math) :lol: :ddb: :nrocks: cheerio, and fine times, mad jack

Very quick reply Jack! (Cos it's almost breakfast time)...... :D

Photo's on Photobucket. Videos on Youtube. :thumbup:

It's very hard work watching Pbucket videos, for awaiting the regular buffering...... :bang: :bang:

NickG:
Nice work Jack, very nice :thumbup: I really need to get my 2nd poppin done, nearly there, just rest of frame, burner and base to do. I haven't done a project log on it but I will put a vid up if it works!

DMIOM:
Great to see it running! so quickly and so vocally as well :bow:

and the frame puts me in mind of some of Kenneth's robots/machines.....
