Another Internal Combustion Engine

Not only reduce vibration but look cool too.

Thanks Chris it does set it off.

It's valve time today but I only got 3 pictures.
One valve in progress.


Both valves with screw on spring retainers along with both intake and exhaust valve guides.


Everything installed with springs and retainers.
The valve on top is the exhaust.


This was a long day in the shop but when you're on a roll you just keep going.

Thanks for looking

I have the mechanism for the exhaust valve installed.
It's the little things that take the longest to make.

I have left the rocker arm extra long for now until I decide where I want the "miss" catch arm to be.

Thanks for looking

I like it!

Did you fabricate the clevises on the link between cam follower and beam?

 

[Just for fun]

Looks great Ray, Thanks for sharing!

No but I did modify them considerably.

Looks great Ray, Thanks for sharing!

Oh thank you Tim.

No pictures today but I did make some progress on the governor.

Thanks for looking

The last couple of days I have been busy in the shop.
I made the magnet wheel for the ignition system and the drive pulley for the governor.


Driven governor pulley mounted in the ball bearing housing.
Rubber belt drive with a 1/4 twist. It tracks just fine thank you.



Catch arm, actuator rod and governor spool made, installed and adjusted.

I need to trim off some material on the cam shaft, the catch arm, and the actuator rod but I want to finish the fly ball assembly first.
If everything works as I hope it will then I will dissemble the engine for painting. I still need to drill the head bolt holes.

Anyone have a preference for the color?
I'm leaning toward orange.

Thanks for looking
Ray
