Amazing. Good work! Did all piston rings survive? On those engines i have worked on, the piston rings have often been so stuck that i had to break them to get them loose. So i have made plenty of them in the old lathe. Lucky for me that i enjoy turning rings and cast babbit bearings. Biggest rings that ive made is 265mm bore. Thats for my 25hp Målilla from 1926.
What sorcery is this? Have you attended Hogwarts? You make magic. What a great rebuild...I can’t say enough. I guess the propane is for starting? (Seriously, I don’t know). If so, how were they heated up years ago, in the pre-propane era. Last words....you’ve done a beautiful job and thank you for posting this...Mac
thanks mate. before propane they used blow lamps , the ones with kerosene fuel and you light i little fire on them and then pump up the tank pressure and you get a roaring flame.
That is a “boss” new lake pipe! It looked like a really fun project. Thanks for posting the pics.
I love the sound. That is true displacement!
it’s just great sitting next to the exhaust with a beer
Slow the video speed to .5 and you got very cool TECH music! Amazing!
Wow! That’s something to see, I’ve always found those old motors so interesting and was wondering how “rebuildable” they were
Thank you very much!
Love that sound.

The rings were very stuck. I heated them to almost red hot several times and tapped them all around and eventually got them off.
What a beast , do you know how much the piston weights ?
As a matter of fact the piston and rod assy weighed 80 kilograms. I put it on old railway scales.
@@jenkodiesel5768 176 pounds , hurts my back just thinking about it 🤣👍👍🇺🇸
What’s with the janky rotary motion of the oiler eccentric?
It is powered by a ratcheting mechanism from the governor, to a rod and then to another ratchet system. A bit over complicated but works.
@@jenkodiesel5768 cool, that sure looked strange!
Hey mate, i need a sight glass for my 2 feed manzel on my "T Type" did you make or purchase your replacement? Cheers
Made it ! Ive got to make one for my YD but flat out with work, its full on. If you can wait a month or so i can make one for you at the same time
@@jenkodiesel5768 I was going to try resin cast one in the next few days, I saw someone do it for a single feed, see how we go :)
@@anthacdc make a few of them if it works out. Ill buy one.
@@jenkodiesel5768 I’ve got a glass here that I can make a mould from, if it works out I’ll gladly send you one for free :)
@@anthacdc jeez , you must be a good bloke like me .
🙂👍☕ nice
