It's a damn good thing these videos are here so I know what to look out for. I plan on using a T56 in a formula one car project of mine and I'm sure glad I have your videos so I know what to look out for when getting a transmission.
"Shit, that ones sharp. Let's touch it again" perfectly encapsulates the mechanic work experience
Do you still have it?
Yes I do.
Im building mine right now similar set up kinda. Nice video
You'll like it. I'm sure enjoying mine.
@@xpsgarage awesome thanks for the video!
Beautiful work man. Great video
Thanks!
Really enjoying this build, I'm on the fence between a legal Eagle XL ultralight and the Double Eagle LSA . I like your common sense approach to this job I am a mechanic for a living and a hobby machinist by necessity and I really like your approach to figuring things out and the shorter videos you put out are the perfect length for my attention span !
I didn't even know there was an Eagle LSA. I'm going to have to look that up. Sounds like our attention spans are about the same. LOL.
love this series, gonna start on my own soon, any reason you chose not to go with the aluminum cylinders?
When I ordered the crank and cylinder kit from Cassler we talked mostly about the crank. The type of cylinders never really came up just that he suggested the 94mm. After looking at his price list just now the aluminum cylinders are $1050 a pair so I would have went iron anyway. I'm cheap like that. LOL
@@xpsgarageThanks, I used to help a dirt track racer, his theme was "run watchu brung" , I've got steel cyls and probably do the same thing, spend the money, somewhere else
Good information, just picked up my first 8N and this will help me do a smoother job with my back blade (a Dearborn from 1950)
Thankyou! What a great explanation. Question: I plow my snow with the same kind of backblade you have. What position of the draft mode do you recommend? I don't remember what position my lever is in currently. THUMBS UP!!!
I'd just experiment and find out what works best for you. As fast as snow packs in front of the blade and since you have limited traction in the snow, draft mode might not work the best. Depending on the depth of the snow you might have to leave it in position mode and make multiple passes working your way down. If we get any snow this winter in Missouri I definitely plan to find out myself.
How are these holding up? Is your car garaged or does it live outside?
Still looks like new but the car does stay in the garage.
@@xpsgarage thanks for replying, it seems like all replacements available online seem to be by Metro, I will order a pair as I’m undertaking a a quest to rid my Z of water leaks.
Nice work what brand is your pipe bender ,sealant and elbow
I've had Muncies, Saginaws, and T5s apart but never a T56. This looks like gravy. Thanks for posting this great video series.
I think the most shocking thing is that you haven't Pressure washed the diff and rear subframe yet
Part numbers lol
I don't want to make it too easy for you! LOL
So far the only channel that demonstrate 1/2 vw conversion Great effort and production
Waiting for next Thanks
Where is the link for the schematics
Up in the video description.
I really enjoy watching your skills and ingenuity at work. If you ever consider selling the parts needed for this swap as a kit for those of use less fortunate of having such skills and tools and I will definitely buy!
Find yourself a wheel and I will put together some spacers for you.
THANK YOU !!! FINALLY A LOGICAL EXPLANATION OF HOW IT WORKS !!
Glad i watched your video and heard about the Buell issues. I been wanting one but i think I'll keep my sportster and keep upgrading it. I've already done suspension and hammer 1275. Next will probably be brake upgrades! Thank you.
I have no spark I have check everything
The only time I've ever lost spark on one of these engines it ended up being a bad ignition generator coil under the flywheel. Have you checked that?
Looks good
I have to believe that the dyc turbine setup would be a good option to spray household latex on your interior or exterior house projects without the need of using any water to thin it or floetrol
I've thought the same thing but haven't tried it yet.
Whats ur location an how much to go thru both my pumps an carbon seal conversion
Buell much more fun ❤
When you put the rubber packing into the throttle shaft hole, did you put a brass retainer cup into the shaft hole to keep the rubber packing in place? Didn't see you mention that. Great info on the governor, and your run through of the carb cleaning was excellent. Not really necessary to remove the three brass jets (economizer, idle, and main) as they can be buggered up easily, as you found out on the idle jet. Good to check for proper diameter hole size on each: Idle jet .032, economizer jet .046, and main jet .052). Well done!
Once it starts to look like an airplane, you’re halfway done! 😂
Do all eight 8ns have this lever?
Yes all 8ns had it. The 9n and 2n didn't since they didn't have the position function only draft.
You commented about the mag casting being stained; it should be chemically cleaned and dichromated to reduce corrosion before assembly.
Good information, but I'm way past that. I'll have to rely on oil inside and paint outside.
@@xpsgarage Perhaps it'll still be useful to others, or next time. Not many know of this, like they know about a mist coat of zinc chromate on aluminum. When you see mag with a brown color, that's what the dichromate looks like.
Hi ...nice videos ....is it a 86 stroker fron casler ?
Excellent video man, you are a beast
I'm not sure why people cut the case. Several people have determined that it's much better to leave the case whole
With the Ulltracruiser the case is cut for packaging issues. The magneto fits nicely on the back of the engine so you don't have a distributor sticking out of the cowl. If I was putting this on a Legal Eagle or Minimax I would have went full case.
Just got one these speedster n cavitation is bad lol didn’t seem right n hoping to do this this winter but yesterday i sucked up something n i dont know what to do to clear it n can u do it from in the water or do I need to take it out I have scuba tank lol
I would just pull the pump. Depending on what you sucked up you might have damaged the wear ring.
Is there any reason at all not to just put the resistor in at the BCM? There was an abrupt edit in the beginning where you started to say something about this and then jump-cut to the fuel pump being cut off(?) I have seen a couple videos of people bridging the purple/white & white/black wires at the clip where they connect to the BCM. Also, someone on Corvette Forum recommended I cut those wires leading back to the ignition switch entirely after inserting my resistor at the BCM, so that if for some reason the resistor on the key started working with the sensors in the key tumbler, they wouldn't run in parallel, or cancel each other out, or some damned thing. Any thoughts?
That was an abrupt edit but I was talking about shorting across the theft relay to get it to crank but if the VATS was still unhappy it would shut off fuel. I mentioned putting the resistor at the BCM at 12:30. That is an excellent place to put it if you want and definitely do cut the wires going back to the key. I'm not sure what the wire colors are but I would make sure to look at a wiring schematic before doing it.
What did you do with the breather hoses?
I had already removed them from the airbox and routed them along the back of the engine and then down toward the ground. They are currently just vented to atmosphere. I may eventually build a catch can for them.
Great video and info. In my case, i bought a new pump cover for a 05 Trailblazer with LL8 engine in mind and the one I received was for an LS version. The covers are not same. Pretty much, the 05 LL8 4l60e cover is an old model front cover with the good stuff of the new cover (TCC valve, springs, etc) that was being engineered for the speed sensor. I just wanted to throw that there because those 05 covers for the LS come with stator and sleeve for speed sensor but not drilled and have the notch in the boost valve. For anyone repairing a 05 trailblazer or Saab SUV of same year with the LL8 engine, it takes the old 300mm input shaft as you mention on your vid. Thanks for the info. Ignore the tech trolls 😂. They don't deserve to be addressed.
Good information. Thanks!
Since an 8N doesn't have a full flow filter, its hardly worth ti.
You are correct that it is probably not worth it from a filtering stand point, but dang it looks cool and I really needed new lines anyway.
I’m learning a lot, so I’m glad you made the series based on the Hummel plan even though I’m planning to use the Better Half plan from Leonard.
Awesome. Can’t wait to hear how it sounds. I was thinking of doing the same myself. I made my own crank shims with a Hole Saw 🥴
With a hole saw? Love it. If it works it works.
Mine starts and runs good but when put in gear it bogs down. Any idea why
If the carb is clean and set right then it's most likely a governor problem.
Getting close. Looking forward to seeing it run.
Me too.
Is there a voltage regulator or ballist resistor
The one wire alternator has a built in regulator so no external regulator is needed. The ballast resistor depends on the coil. If I remember right I installed a coil with an internal resistor years ago so I'm not running an external ballast resistor either.
Very good explanation of it's operation .
Thank you for this! These XR’s are noisy bikes. I’m surprised at how smooth your bike is at idle - mine is a paint mixer. Do you have stiffer engine mounts in the bike?
I have a set of stiffer mounts to install but they are still on the shelf. What's in it now are original. Have you done any tuning to your bike? I've added more fuel all around and that helped smooth things out.
@@xpsgarage Nice - I do have a Dynojet PowerVision, which I am a huge fan of. A few autotune sessions made a big difference in how the bike runs around town. Are you running idle in open or closed loop? I’ll probably whip up a tune and do like you suggested.
@@yo_marc It's all open loop. I just added fuel where it felt like it needed it and I'm very happy with the results. I do plan to get a wideband in the future just to see where the mixture is at.
I Had the 45hp on a hummel
Did you like it?
The reason I was asking is because I have a Benson gyro copter that I need to replace the old drone engine I want something more efficient and easier to run with but I need something put now 80 to a 100 horsepower
None of the 1/2 vw engines will be near that power range. The biggest 4 cyl VW that Hummel Engines lists is 85hp.
Yep! A little temperamental 😂. I was glad to hear you mention Leonard. I got his plan for the 1/2.
I’m enjoying your build. I have a friend with a Hummel, and I’ve got a Legal Eagle started. I might have seen you at Oshkosh last year. Were you there this year? I didn’t see any Hummels which was odd.
Were you at Leonard's birthday party at Osh last year? I didn't go this year since I have went the last 3 years hoping to see a Hummel flying. Never did. I would probably have built a Legal Eagle if the wings were easier to take off. Without hanger space that was a major consideration.
@@xpsgarage I didn’t make it to the party either time, but visit with him and the others at the forum and out by the airplanes.
Thanks. Great info.
May I ask what kind of horsepower is she going make my biggest stupid question but I'd like to know
Mines kind of an odd size at 94mm bore and 69mm stroke. A 92 x 69 is supposed to be 32hp so I should be slightly more than that.
