thanks Aone.. ill be watching for the goodies when i get home... Bill

I would have loved to been there!! My truck just would have been so hard on fuel it was out of the question this year, maybe next year.. My wife wouldn't let me get her car out of the garage just yet, she still worried about another snow and getting salt all over it.. At least she wants to take...

I was over to my shop today and after seeing this thread I stepped off and got around 600 sq. ft. all together.. I share the shop with my wife's brother-in-law and his brother.. They just store cars in there 1/3.. Shop includes water, power, trash dumpster and a bathroom...Costs us $100 bucks...

Wow chuck, looks like you are in for an adventure.. I wish you the best of luck and keep the pictures comming please. I'll be looking forward to every post...Bill

That looks great man...I cant wait to see in person...Bill

That would be true if only turning the engine around 2500 rpm. Also we are talking normally aspirated engines. If you add nitrous and or blower/supercharger totally different formula. Bill

Me and my older brother Tore up more stuff than a little bit when we were young..One I will never forget was painting our bicycles with dads new fangled paint gun.. We cleaned out the paint gun as we had seen dad do with a full cup (almost a quart) of paint thinner.. Dumped that down the drain...

Cubic inches * Max RPM = X X divided by 3,456 = Y Y divided by Volumetric Effiency (on normal size engines this number is around .85) = Z Z = Required Carb size in CFM The size of your carb will have to flow at least this much air.. Hope this helps...Bill

Looking good bud... Ill send you my address.. Thanks a million to you and Brian both..Bill

You could get on the Blue ridge parkway Near Hillsville or even Roanoke if you wanted .. it will take you all the way to Front Royal.. Very scenic but speed limit is 45 ..

Congratulate him for me.. Thats outstanding.

Dang Dave... I told you I did some casting, but looking at your casting I just do some practicing lol.. Looks great man really.. I need alot of pointers on pattern making I see that now..Bill

Made the exhaust pipe today.. Just about time to start riding the rzr's again, so time will be getting shorter and shorter in the shop..Bill

Excellent work.. Thanks.. I had never thought about the flywheel for guessing at the scale.. I was just wanting to get close so I could scale down something else to look realistic..Thanks again..Bill

Just watched the movie Argo.. Says it was based on the real thing...I was only 16 when it happened so I really wasn't paying much attention to news or tv at that age..Any way Thanks again Canada for a job well done..Bill

I'm familiar with what scale means but I thought maybe someone would know if the engine was like 1/2 scale of a 5 hp of yesteryear or maybe 1/2 scale of a 10 hp ?? just curious is all... A friend of mine has a bunch of these full size ill try and get to his house and do some measuring on them...

What would be the scale of the odds n ends hit miss engine ? I have looked at the plans and it doesn't really say.. I'm just wondering because of an idea in my brain..Thanks ..Bill

That is great work, but I actually needed the wedge type !! So if you could make me 10 or 15 It would be great thanks... Seriously though that is a great job ! Like Tin said your set for life on tool holders...Bill

I have used adjustable reamers and they do a decent job for me but i always follow them with an AL lap and lapping compound..If you only need to remove less than .001 I would consider making an AL lap and using lapping compound.. The adjustable reamer will work but finish might not be what you...

I dont know about model engine carbs but I know plenty about Holley's.. I do know for sure that a carb set up for gas will not work for alcohol.. It takes almost two times as much alcohol compared to gas to go thru the carb.. Im only mentioning this wondering if the problems people have with...
