I was not getting enough fuel dring idle conditions for the adjusting screws to do anythings I drilled the idle restrictors larger and it helped a...
Stunning build.
Arse sideways, you did well to point out that the concern over coefficient of expansion is not an issue if using a thin layer of epoxy. I...
Epoxy by itself is too flexible. Additives will stiffen it. I was instructed to use glass microballoons. When I tried to mix them in the...
As dampening vibration was just mentioned (and I'm sensitive to it) i will add that it has never been a problem for me with these boat engines I...
Sean, I agree with your thinking. I did not know the detail you provided about water jet cutting . thanks I wonder how much precision matters...
That is impressive. well done
With the oil scraper loose enough to spin, perhaps the piston could be pushed out at that point but with rusted cylinder walls it might hang up....
what about the part of the piston outside of the hole saw cut? Did it have structural integrity so you could use a long punch to move it or...
Clever to use oil that way.
