| John Rudd:
Hot on the heels of the questions I posted elsewhere, I decided to do a project build log.. So far details are: Single cylinder design, bore 1 inch with a corresponding stroke...Compression ratio yet to be determined.. Piston- Aluminium with CI rings *2 Liner -Cast Iron Cylinder -finned Aluminium Head-Aluminium Conrod-Aluminium...Getting boring now.... :lol: Crank- built up from BMS and Silver Steel Crankcase- err well I think it might be a Steel but that could change...... Flywheel- CI around 3-4 inches Ignition- Own design CDI ( ambitious :lol:) Lubrication- usually a coupleof pints of beer.....err I mean oil We'll see how things progress as 'Er indoors has buggered off to 'Er mothers wi' me camera... :coffee: Suffice to say, when she gets back I'll take some snaps |

Nope Rob, Its just a bit of fun...If it works out I might build another to put in my boat...( River Queen by Kingston Mouldings) if I can make it a bit more compact.. |
