I got the two heads mostly done and have found a mistake. [ATTACH] Bottom looks good and matches the drawings. [ATTACH] Problem is in the...
Here is a stress analysis from Fusion 360. I ran several cases and the results are similar. The big round things are the main bearing caps. The...
This simulation can get quite complex. The F360 simulation only does static forces. What would be the worst case, top dead center, 90 degree crank...
Thanks Brian. I'm really looking to make a Porsche clone if possible. Likely I have bitten off more than I can chew but there is only one way to...
Thanks for the input Maury. I did the crank design in Fusion 360 so I should be able to do a force analysis - but - I am an electrical engineer....
I've been unable to find plans for a Volkswagen or Porsche boxer engine so I am going to attempt to design my own. This is likely going to be a...
Does anyone know where the plans were published and if they are available from a proper source?
I keep getting stalled with either lack of material or tooling. I just got the long LOC end mills I ordered so I can try and finish up the oil pan...
Got started on one of the heads. Figured I'd do one complete which will probably wind up as a practice run. Here it is with the head bolt holes...
Keep me posted on your search. I too have been looking for plans but without success. I went to a local Porsche repair shop and started measuring...
Finished the block except for the crank and cam bores. Working on the oil pan. Screwed up the first attempt at the pan and working on the second....
Got the main bearing caps done yesterday. Don't have the right length cap screws so ordered them from McMaster. Bored the cylinders to size today,...
Spent a bunch of time sizing stock and screwing up the dimensions of the main bearing caps. Why is it I screw up on the simple things like cutting...
Saves on making liners. ;)
