Tom, anybody.... Trying not to be a PITA by asking questions, but I have a few.... Have you found that your air-cooled cylinders are in fact, adequately cooled by the cooling fins, or, are you experiencing any overheating problems? Just curious. Any comments would be helpful. Frank |
| OKTomT:
Frank feel free to ask any and all the questions you want to. I will try to answer them if I can but am a little slow to respond some times. I have not had any heating problems with the first bike engine but it has not been run very hard or for long periods of time. when I get the v twin done I plan on running it for long periods of time and with a load to see how it performs. I think having thick cylinder walls and cylinder head takes a lot of btu to over heat but makes for a heavy engine. It would probably better to build it out of aluminum . I am back to working on the engine and have decided on a design for the valve train . here is a picture of the mock up. |
| BronxFigs:
Tom- Thanks. Encouraging comments regarding the overheating question. Looking forward to your remarkable progress. Frank |
| OKTomT:
I made some more parts for the engine. Cams, lifters, push rod guides, rocker box and cover. they are just ruff built and will be finished at final assembly. |
