@@WarpedYT wow. That's awesome of you, not them. Well, I'll steer clear of them then. And I thought of it. Looks like I'll go Stinger should I decide. But it's much bigger, although I love the mini blower option. Thanks for responding
That spin comes from the spring, yes. When you compress a coil spring a tiny amount of torque is created. If the resistance to this torque is different between loading and unloading of the spring, and not otherwise prevented through friction, it will cause a rotation.
jackANSI, that sounds right in this instance. compare the action of a spring washer. about 30 years ago mercedes (i've seen that he drives one) boasted that the valve gear on its new engines rotated to even out wear. wow, how clever are these germans! hey, hang on. i've since found out that offsetting the valve gear from the actuator is a very old trick that may go back 100 years. in fact, all engines i have owned have incorporated this turning business into the valve gear.
@@vsvnrg3263 Positive valve rotation was introduced in the '70's when leaded fuel was introduced on most cars sold in the US. If you don't rotate the valves, they will wear into the valve seats in the head and eventually the engine will lose compression (prior to that the lead in the fuel lubricated the valve seats). The rotation force typically comes from the valve spring retainer that's designed to create that force every time it's compressed and released. In automotive engines the contact point between the tappet and the rocker is also offset to encourage the rotation.
Very neat! I wish more parents would do stuff like this with their kids, my dad was a mechanic so I got to rip apart engines in the yard but most kids don't get that opportunity, this lil kit is perfect for that!
Couldn't have said it better in the intro. Building things and understanding of how they work is an extremely important skill. I feel like a lot of people now just don't know or don't care to learn about stuff. Thank you for sharing all of your projects with us, I know I always learn something from videos like yours.
It's lubricated very similar to a two-cycle where it's just the oil that's in the fuel, you did just give me an idea though it might be really cool to do a Marathon run with this thing. Like running for 24 hours straight Non-Stop. You know I can't just released a video on building something..lol. I have something else in mind for this engine for a video. But yeah the lower parts of the engine like the crankshaft bearings and connecting rod are lubricated by the blow by that ends up in the crankcase. I thought it was kind of interesting the way it was lubricated too.
@@WarpedYT Then this engine is the same principle as the Stihl 4mix engine on there weed whackers and chain saws. Those are also 4 stroke engines but get lubricated by the oil mixed with the gas. There is no oil pan or dry sump.
Wow, that was totally cool. On a coolness factor of 0-10, that was a 12! That would indeed make a great RC vehicle engine. Totally enjoyed watching you build it......and the "don't over-tighten" warnings. Small stuff.
First of all this engine is so cute !!! It does sound better than most of the mini for stroke for model cars !!! I don't know how to get flames but maybe if you get very rich on fuel and get the spark à little bit late you get burn less fuel and more heat so it can maybe make flames in the exhaust !!! Thanks so much for this video !!! It is so refreshing !!!
Cut coil in glow plud and it make it into spark plug, by spark generator for spark plug (don't know exact name, but it comes as a kit with sensor) and connect it, run it with 2stroke gas fuel mix, it will shoot flames, get the idea right. It will be not hard to do.
My mom would buy me little kits like this when I was a kid and now that I’m an adult I’m so thankful that she did. I learned so much from them and had a lot of fun
Only meant to be ran for a few seconds at full throttle. Its still running on 2 stroke fuel so the internals don't get lubricated like a real 4 stroke with an oil pump. At full throttle It would probably only last a minute or two before it destroyed the sleeve/rings.
@@revtech2917 also it running on 2 stroke fuel probably lubricates it better than a normal fuel pump hence why people add premix sometimes. Go watch some 2 stroke dirt bike racing where they're literally full throttle at redline for minutes on end. You could never do that with a fuel pump. It might have to do with it being a four stroke design on 2 stroke fuel but I feel like it wouldn't make much of a difference because it's still the same except valve but idk maybe! That's the point of the test! :)
Heat exhaust manifold with something, as a unburned fuel touch the hot exhaust, it should catch up. On 30% nitro it looks bit to rich. Would love a video about a supra.
The valve bucket spin seems like a critical component to the long term use of an engine that relies on them. Without spin, you would likely get dishing where the rocker hits it. With spin, you get a nice even wear pattern.
I actually have one of these toyan fs engines They’re amazing and with the right fuel and some tuning you can get them to rev up to 13,000 rpm I was thinking it would be a great project to machine a mini turbo and strap it to that little engine of yours :)
I was suprised to see on other motors that the push rods also spin. And I saw a video where junkyard digs showed that a couple cylinders had issues and he showed where the push rods were not spinning. I just watch a video of the brass engine from China that blew up with oxygen and Acetylene. The push rods on that motor were outside the engine. Now if u look at the slow motion u can see the push rods actually rotating as well. Pretty cool little thing I noticed!
What you have is essentially a diesel engine (no spark plug, distributor, or ignition system), where combustion is based on air-fuel mixture, heat & pressure. In this case, when the cylinder gets sufficient pressure, the hot air-fuel will spontaneously combust igniting all the fuel at the same instant. The only way that I can see to get flame exiting the exhaust port would be to get more fuel into the cylinder and or get the exhaust valve to open slightly earlier in the timing cycle, in other words, get the exhaust valve to open while the fuel is still igniting. Maybe try some Nitrous Oxide.
4:50: The exhaust side components have to handle much more heat than the intake side components. Take the intake valve, for example. The intake valve's temperature gets up only to one hundred degrees F because it is constantly getting cooled by the incoming air-gas mixture. But the exhaust valve's temperature gets up to 1200 degrees because it takes the full brunt of the outgoing burnt gasses from the cylinder.
As far as the valve spin, it is absolutely due to the spring geometry. Any helical spring will compress linearly as well as axially. For valves designed to be able to have freedom to rotate around their center axis, they will spin with this movement. I am not an engineer, but here's my take: I am not sure if they did this on purpose, but in my mind it would enable the valves to last much longer without changing dimensions due to wear spreading evenly AND (this is more important) allowing the contact portions of the valve stem to be lubricated more effectively. Tiny little engine so I doubt they put this much thought into it, but it's a really good idea and I'm starting to wonder if real vehicle engines do this too. Awesome observation! I've never seen this before and I'm super interested!
Sand 0.5 mm to the cams rounded surface (not the bulky one), looking at the shaft that´s all you probably have, if not less. Supplement the shim , or the inside of the buckets with a chip of sheetmetal (same thickness mentioned) to adjust clearance. Basically you´ll increase the cam lift ratio. Sand 0.25/0.3 mm off the top of the sleeve to increase compresion. We´ll get closer to fire.
I'll bet the bucket spin is caused by the spring. When a coil spring is compressed the ends of the spring will rotate slightly in relation to each other. When the rocker arm presses down on the tappet (bucket) it is prevented from turning by the friction between the top of the spring and the bottom of the tappet. When the rocker arm releases the pressure to allow the valve to close, the spring can now perform its small rotational displacement, which imparts a small kick to the tappet which causes it to spin.
Love my Toyan L400 engine I got from seeing your video. I don't mes with RC's at all, but it is just so neat to have a miniature engine running on my workbench, haha.
cam buckets prevent side loading caused by rocker sweep. My Corolla has them, first rebuild at 350,000 km, guides good, 2 bad valves, pistons worn. $1800 full rebuild.
Thanks for sharing and this. I knew the rocker arms would have the same fundamentals as a real v8 or other engine but what was mostly proven here is to be able to see the two timing dots facing down when it fires. That was a contradiction on another video I saw. Cool. Thanks
that was cool. I theorize the buckets are spinning because of the lip of the cut coil on the end of the spring grabbing when the spring expands. or just standard spring rapid expansion/compression behavior
Sir, my theory is that the rotation of the valve cups is caused by the natural vibration of the engine in the same manner as a bolt will screw or unscrew setting close to a source of vibration and thus lock tight is needed. A paper towel rack standing upright setting next to a spinning washing machine will do exactly the same thing. To prevent that paper towel from unrolling all it's paper, you put it on the holder facing in the opposite direction. It doesn't stop it from rotating, it stops it from un rolling. People driving motor homes can also appreciate that with paper towel holders as well as toilet paper holders. In this case, it is probably a good thing because it doesn't have one specific spot where the rocker arms constantly touch like rotating the tires on a car makes the tires wear longer and give better service. AS the pressure of the rocker is released, the cup has opportunity to free spin like a Solid lifter in a Chevy high performance engine. There has to be a little tolerance so that lifter can move to prevent seizing and sir your observation in study on this little engine is as curious as my own LOL, I just bought one, just ordered the 2 speed clutch, not sure if the rpm will allow much of a shift but I also have a two speed adjustable transmission and this engine screams "RAT ROD". The learning lesson for me on your video is that no matter how close the tolerances there has to be some space to move and there will always be a vibration no matter how well balanced it is, if it is running. I also have studied and have learned that is some specific cases like this, that vibration is a good thing for certain "Specific" parts of an engine where this vibration in other parts of the engine will cause it to come apart. It's the perfect learning tool. Thank you for taking your time and expertise in video to show this in a manner it can be seen "In Action"!
The reason for the difference in coloration between the two rocker arms probably has to do with one being a different material than the other, kind of like when it comes to valves and how the exhaust valve in an engine usually isn't magnetic but the intake is.
Never heard them called valve buckets before, had to google it and sure enough thats a thing! lol... Ive always known that part to be a tappet. Also in one of the last scenes I like how you bend a piece of wire around the fuel hose as a hose clamp. You are so OG.
If you are thinking about getting this I would consider Getting a 2 stroke bike engine kit instead a great engineering project also it’s much cheaper “plus you have a motorized bicycle at the end”
Noorquacker come on man ! , you can’t compare the both channels, WP put more practice with very interesting approch, engineering explained is more theorical content 😌
🔥 Fire = use butane through pinhole *drilled into intake or affix breather with it safe way to do it is at jet in carb: use hypodermic needle number 2-4 with the hose from butane *aquarium line* to the syringe make sure to put the line all the way inside of syringe behind needle glue it with fuseit made by liquidnails.. This way if it finds backpressure the butane gas doesn't leak and doesn't become its own combustion chamber use a large type for refilling lighters that way you have manual control over it if the Fire takes the engine
I can tell you where the spin is coming from. The spring as you suggested. To stop it rotating you need 2 springs. One inside the other with a opposite bend. On the way down the valve is rotating the opposite direction .when closing the valve will rotate the same way as the caps.The cap can only rotate once the cam has backed off. Compress a spring & you will see it rotate depending on the angle of the springs & direction of its bend. This is how a valve can where away its seat if you use LPG or instead of leaded Gasoline. Cams are cut on a angle to & placed offset to even out wear. Its not wanted on the valve though.
The temperature at the inlet valve is less compared to exhaust valve. Thus the inlet valve is generally made of nickel chromium alloy steel and exhaust valve is made of silchrome steel that gives them their slight colour difference ..
The valve buckets spinning is probably a designed feature and not just a coincidence. If they didn't spin the rocker arms would end up wearing a groove in the buckets, the spinning means they're not hitting the same surface all the time so they'll wear evenly across the surface of the bucket. Probably not super important for a hobby/demo engine, but extremely important for extending the life of an engine that's going to see tens or hundreds of thousands of hours of work.
I always thought the buckets spin like that was caused by the valve spring letting the valve hang for a sec an due to vibration it aloud the buckets to spin on the retainers.
The reason you are not getting fire out the exhaust is that the nitro/air mixture burns up completely before the exhaust valve opens. To get fire you need to use a slower burning fuel.
I would try to make your own fuel and get 40 to 45 % nitro.. use throttle control (full speed low speed and full speed again) and you'll probable see some good amount of flames. Engine may not last a lifetime but it will sure look and sound kick ass!!
wait 6 months and you will see tons of other brands morphing out from china selling different kits of the same breed! price will bottom out to 69.99 by then!
Watch the 2strokes apear and become dirt cheap. I own a 2 stroke stationary engine that was used on a farm, it's small cheap and 50cc. It doesn't need engine oil and is indestructable.
Valve bucket has a bounce this causes vibration this in turn causes what we call a rotary vibration that then causes the valve bucket to rotate. Here’s something most will not know all bolts on a Diesel engine are engineered to counter act rotary vibration other wise it would shake itself to bits maybe something you could take a look into one day testing a standard bolt in place of an engineered bolt to see what happens I know I would like to see.
No moly or oil during assembly? Even though it's just a small model engine I would still be concerned about making sure the moving parts are lubricated especially pre-breakin/ first run. Really cool motor, I enjoyed the video 👌
@Heads Mess it does slightly most of the time. But it's easier for the cup to turn under decompression of the spring so it favors one direction of rotation.

There's nothing I'd love more than to build one of these.. however for the price I could get an engine with a dirt bike attached
Where can I find a $250 dirt bike?
I can tell you where the spin is coming from. The spring as you suggested. To stop it rotating you need 2 springs. One inside the other with a opposite bend. On the way down the valve is rotating the opposite direction .when closing the valve will rotate the same way as the caps.The cap can only rotate once the cam has backed off. Compress a spring & you will see it rotate depending on the angle of the springs & direction of its bend. This is how a valve can where away its seat if you use LPG or instead of leaded Gasoline. Cams are cut on a angle to & placed offset to even out wear. Its not wanted on the valve though.
Yes it is wanted on the valve because it prevents carbon build up from causing the valve not to seat correctly.
Kool Dog, er...co-owner kicking back letting dad do the video!
pull or advance few degrees of timing it should show us some fire :)
I love their sound of the mini piston has a explotion
it needs nitro, efi and a turbo 😁👍 😂
For that watch Johnny Q90
@white serbia?
Oo Man, the end of the video is amazing 👍🏿
The temperature at the inlet valve is less compared to exhaust valve. Thus the inlet valve is generally made of nickel chromium alloy steel and exhaust valve is made of silchrome steel that gives them their slight colour difference ..
The valve buckets spinning is probably a designed feature and not just a coincidence. If they didn't spin the rocker arms would end up wearing a groove in the buckets, the spinning means they're not hitting the same surface all the time so they'll wear evenly across the surface of the bucket. Probably not super important for a hobby/demo engine, but extremely important for extending the life of an engine that's going to see tens or hundreds of thousands of hours of work.
I thought the spinning deal was intentional also. What is done in the manufacturing process to cause the spin?
Very cool little engines..I saw JonnyQ90 with one a bit ago and he's making all sort of parts for it...Clever young bloke.
Great video, was a lot of fun to see that high spd camera. Thanks for posting
love that slomo cam.
I always thought the buckets spin like that was caused by the valve spring letting the valve hang for a sec an due to vibration it aloud the buckets to spin on the retainers.
this is what i was waiting for
Cool video, liked the exhaust pulses...
Imagine how cool a see through flathead v8 would be
Water cooled is pretty cool 😎
The reason you are not getting fire out the exhaust is that the nitro/air mixture burns up completely before the exhaust valve opens. To get fire you need to use a slower burning fuel.
I love engine building, The things i would do for one of these DIY models :(
i love your set of tools lol it worked
great slow-mo shots !!!
15:35 first start eh? 😋.
I would try to make your own fuel and get 40 to 45 % nitro.. use throttle control (full speed low speed and full speed again) and you'll probable see some good amount of flames. Engine may not last a lifetime but it will sure look and sound kick ass!!
Okay but can we talk about how this kit is even more expensive than a used engine for my car lmao
It's crazy and it's straight from China
wait 6 months and you will see tons of other brands morphing out from china selling different kits of the same breed! price will bottom out to 69.99 by then!
6 months ago or more, they were over $400. They've came down about half the price
@@laird340 They have a 2 cylinder under $400 now. I expect eventually the 4 cylinder will be below 400 also, and they are making an 8 cylinder.
Watch the 2strokes apear and become dirt cheap.
I own a 2 stroke stationary engine that was used on a farm, it's small cheap and 50cc. It doesn't need engine oil and is indestructable.
Saw your comments on JOHNNYQ90 most recent upload video you both got nice little engine's Mat have a great day and stay safe
That is an awesome little motor. And great video!!
It's odd how he sound some what like vin diesel. Only when he says something that makes his voice deep
Valve bucket has a bounce this causes vibration this in turn causes what we call a rotary vibration that then causes the valve bucket to rotate. Here’s something most will not know all bolts on a Diesel engine are engineered to counter act rotary vibration other wise it would shake itself to bits maybe something you could take a look into one day testing a standard bolt in place of an engineered bolt to see what happens I know I would like to see.
Thats the cutest thing ever!
This engine is 4stroke suitable... Than you can normally see flames (sorry for bad English I'm German) 🔥
Love you're sunglasses man I need to buy me some of those bad boys 😎
Can't wait to get one
No moly or oil during assembly? Even though it's just a small model engine I would still be concerned about making sure the moving parts are lubricated especially pre-breakin/ first run. Really cool motor, I enjoyed the video 👌
yeah I thought that to
That's a really nice little engine - runs so smooth.
Cute little motor
The spinning valve bucket is because of the valve spring. When you compress a spring, the top of the spring rotates a little compared to the bottom.
@Heads Mess it does slightly most of the time. But it's easier for the cup to turn under decompression of the spring so it favors one direction of rotation.
That was awesome....i would love to see you make a radial engine out of several of these little guys
You should try hitting a parking block at 80 MPH. I'm pretty sure something will finally break.
The spinning comes from the springs if you can find springs coiled the opposite way you will see the cups change direction
I like this little engines :)
The valve buckets do exactly what lifter in push rod engine.. They are ever so slightly con caved so they spin and don’t get a flat spot.
That momentum you're seeing from the valves is valve float
Imagine Toyan making a mini crossplane inline 4 engine💡
Make tests on this engines pls
lets connect it to a 100cc motorcycle rear wheel!
Now that's the real meaning of a toy
