16 valve engine

[fumopuc]

Hi everybody, now the exhaust pipes are finished. Also the (dummy-) lubrication system for the the conrod pin is done at the crankshaft side. Some stands with lubrication cups will follow. These have been some really tiny parts. I have made a fixture to glue them together. The bolt in the last picture is not the final solution it is only temporary.

I'm still watching, Achim  Those lubricators are always fun to watch, trying to figure out how they stay over the crankshaft axis

That's really coming well. I like the authentic setting

Hi everybody, today is a bank holiday in Germany, so it is time to show some progress. The crank pin lubrication is nearly finished. The drilling of more than 200 holes was a good job for the CNC machine. Also the pocket milling for the flat oil pans. Finally the whole story in motion.

Hugh, Don and Jack thanks for your friendly words. We will come to an end of this story soon. A handrail around the flywheel area and the drain cock for the oil separator in the basement are the last two points on this list. Followed finally by a wooden box for transportation. A new list is already started, named "The Snow Engine" and the very first working drawings in the CAD are already  in progress.

Looks good and runs well    You have put an incredible amount of detail into this build

Very much looking forward to seeing more of it.

Hi Roger, Carl and Dave, thanks for your friendly comments. Today I have started to make the 16 handrail supports. All from 3 mm bar stock and threaded with M 1,6. Some pictures will follow later this weekend.

Very nice Achim. Beautiful work.

Hi Gail, thanks for you compliment.


Today I can make a hook behind the point "handrail" on the list. Some 3 and 4 mm bar stock, some 1.6 mm threaded eye bolts and some patience given this:

That's some pretty fine work there Achim!
I love the hole drilling jig, that's very clever.
