ESO engine machining

[kadora]

Today only one picture.
Here is nearly complete engine including engine holders.
Next step /not needed/ is to blast surface of engine with glass pellets .
Glass pellets leave much shiner aluminium surface than sand blasting
and covers small imperfections and scratches.
Intake and exhaust ports have to be blocked.

Looking very nice. What is the lubrication system? Just splash lube from what is in the crankcase? Any oil in the fuel?

 

[kadora]

Lubrication is oil mixed with fuel + small amount of oil in crankcase
for maiden run.

Finished engine.
For maiden run I always use factory made carburator ,
brand new 4 stroke glow plug and propeller to cool fresh engine.
Helpful is to paint one tip of propeller in TDC to know in which position the piston is.
Exhaust end pipe is made from transistor radio telescopic antena.
ESO logo is made from small plastic letters glued with instant glue
to the base and painted .

Thank you for your interest .
