Single cylinder engine

(1/2) > >>

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 

Rob.Wilson:
Hi John

Will the engine be taking to the air ?


Rob

John Rudd:
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..

Rob.Wilson:
Hi John

 :scratch:  ,,,,,, i thought thee River Queen was a steam boat  :)
