CS

Thanks SOO much for the link to the gents site

i spent most of this afternoon going through his site

i dunno which is better his site or your engine

your engine reminds me of Ural Moto Motorcycle (Soviet era military motorcycle opposed twin cylinder)

all you need is the inline gearbox and it would be a doppleganger for one

great work!!

and thanks again

cheers

Hi All.
Have been a busy week nothing much done on the - Twin. But to day I managed to make the camshaft, I used the described in http://www.modelenginenews.org/feeney/pg7.html and used the CamCalk. to calculate the cam profiles. The milling of the cams take some time but it is a straight forward. you just keep your eyes on the spreadsheet and underline every cut you take
Here are some pic.
Cam blanks aligned in the ro-table and ready to start the milling.

After some hours I had the cams aligned on the camshaft ;D

One camshaft in my hand.................. :big:

Regards CS.

Complicated? nah.. just labor and a h..l lot of fun :big: fun is what mather, isn't it?
the only thing that concerns me right now is the temperature in my workshop
Have a nice day. I'm going to put on some layers of warm clothing and have some "quality-time" in the shop :big:

Speedy.
Ok here we go again

. Outside temp. start rising

this afternoon and the inverter I have for heating in my shop start working more effective and I had 10 deg.C inside after some time ;D. I managed to align the cams on the camshaft. I then glued(Loctite) the timing-gear's on their shafts, seems like the backlash in the geartrain is good.What could I say?Bulls Eye :big:

Regards CS

 

[Speedy]

man I love these pics!
safe to say the engine is of a small size?
are your cams 1 piece?

Hi all.
I had plans on doing some on the Upshur during Christmas but not much done.
Visiting my 2 oldest daughter's and their family's for some days.4 grandchild's and #5 will arrive any time, we hope it will happen on New Years night ;D.

OT. I managed to make a short video of the Twin on the "testbed" to night

I'm planning to make the cover-plate of some perplex or similar. so it's possible to see all the int. moving parts. Any comments welcome :bow:
Here is the vid.
Regards CS
