T head engine by Brian
Brian Rupnow:
Today seen the beginning of a new engine.---The design phase, at least. After recently seeing an Upshur T head coming together on HMEM and a post by Vederstein about building a T head engine I thought that would be an interesting engine to design and build. I'm in no rush to start building, but I know how that generally works. I spent most of today bringing the design along to this stage, and will probably finish up the cylinder head tomorrow.
crueby:
Very interesting look to that engine, will be watching along!
Brian Rupnow:
Great progress made this morning. I decided to keep the engine air cooled. I think the grooves in the cylinder and cylinder head look good.
mikehinz:
Brian, I like the look of this engine so far! I'll be closely following your progress in the design and then during building.
More great work!
Mike
Brian Rupnow:
Okay---We've got a carburetor, carb adapter, heavier crankshaft and an exhaust system. Also a set of tappet guides and two very long valves, riding in valve cages. Tomorrow I will stick a set of points and an ignition cam on it, and probably a gas tank.
