DIY Motorcycle Engine Flow Bench
มุมมอง 2.1K2 ปีที่แล้ว
This engine flow bench is based on the design presented by pingu393, see link below. My original flow bench had a problem of air cavitation when I simulated valves closed. But when I simulated cracking the valve open my manometer went the wrong direction and indicated MORE suction. The design by pingu393 solved this issue so I took his design and pared it down to a more manageable, streamlined ...

      There's only 2 ways oil can get into the combustion chamber, rings or valve guide seals. So be sure to replace the seals and check the ring fit in the new cylinder before tearing down your motor. Cheers.

    Are you saying this basically replicates the flow box with the main plenum and measuring plenum that was shared in the other video you recommended watching? I’m doing major fabrication work to an existing head and need to know if it made any improvements.

      This flow bench is the tool you need to verify the changes you make in your engine cylinder head. I am in the process of making a video explaining how it is used to compare before and after changes made in the head ports. The nice thing about this machine is it can be created using inexpensive plumbing parts and an old vacuum cleaner. I recommend you obtain the book "How to Port and Flow Test Cylinder Heads" by David Vizard for a better explanation of the process.

      Rock and Roll, David! Thanks for watching. Full disclosure - I was racing Speedway in Northern California for 10 years before I collided with the wall in turn 3 at Cal-Expo in Sacramento. When I came back to consciousness my helmet was off, my gloves were off, my 2-piece leather jacket was off and my boots were off. The first thing I heard was "hey, there he is". That ended my Speedway racing career, so I picked up my camcorder and started recording my friends. Thanks again for watching!

      Still no answer. Guess he didn’t get it. I’m running into the same issue. I already have my crank and rod pressed together and tru’d. Can seem to get the centrifugal oil filter back in. My rod clearance is at .006. So I’m going to press off the side with the cover. Place the cover in the freezer and then heat the crankshaft web up in the oven and then lay it flat on the press and see if it will go in that way. Then press the other half back in until I get my .006” clearance.

      Update- Used my grill and slowly heated one half or the crank too about 220 degrees using a temp gun to monitor. Oil plate had been in the deep freeze for a day. Placed crank web flat on the press. Light coat of oil on the rubber seal and around plate and crank web. Used some thick shims that were just bigger than the outside of the plate I had laying around. Used a steel pinion seal driver and pressed it in. It made a big pop noise and was fully seated.

      Rocky recommends you adjust your clutch so that it slips a little. Your clutch should be warm to the touch after several laps of racing. If it's hot, it's slipping too much. If it's cold, it's not slipping enough.
