Engines > Your Own Design

5 Cylinder radial somewhat based on the Morton but not much

I thought I had started a thread on building another radial engine. The first one I built years ago I donated to the Sherline Craftsmanship Museum. I really enjoyed running it for people so I thought I would build another one. On the original design I had incorporated a feed/scavenge oiling system. It worked but I wasn't happy with it. I went back to the plans I have for the Morton M5 and to see how they fueled it. The carb feeds the crankcase with a gas/oil mixture which is then drawn through the back of the crankcase and out the intake pipes to feed the cylinders. On it's way the mixture lubes all the internals. I went a similar route with this engine but in the part of the crankcase that the intake pipes emanate from I designed a blower fan to help feed the cylinders. Everything else about the engine is the same as my original design. I searched for the original thread but couldn't find it.
The following posts show the machining of the rear cover which holds the distributor, the intermediate crankcase housing where the fan resides and the main crankcase.

In the 3rd and 4th pictures of the second posting I placed a scale next to the parts so you can tell the size.

Great progress on the "Morton-esqe" build!  And thank you for sharing it here!

I'm watching along, and taking notes.
