Another Internal Combustion Engine

[rdean]

Helical gears installed.
I turned the cam shaft supports over 180 degrees and drilled and taped for new holes. The driven gear is slightly larger than the original so I had to space the supports out about 0.125. The cam shaft was also replaced with a longer one.


I was able to move the flywheel in to where it should be since the drive gear is centered over the driven gear and not off to the side it gave me more room.


The clapper bar was moved down about an inch and the turn buckle was lengthen to fit.

And now the final video.

I want to thank everyone who left comments and likes along the way as it is appreciated.

Thanks for looking

Wow! Difference in the noise level is significant!

Another awesome build!

I would never have guessed the gears were that loud. It runs great! It's a shame this is just a model and not put to actual work somehow.

Much quieter.

Thanks Jamie, Robert, and Chris.

Ray, that thing runs as good or even better than some of those model kits that cost thousands of dollars.

 

[rdean]

That's very kind of you to say, thank you
