Two Timer Build

pontiac428 the head will have 4 valve guides, 2 spark plugs, 10 head bolts, and four 0.312 port passages in it. I had to get creative with the head bolt holes to get everything fitting in such a small space. I wanted water cooling because I had never made one like this before but the engine will be run in rather short bursts of 5 to 15 minutes so it could have been made with just cooling fins and a fan. As far as the water pump I was thinking much smaller than a VW pump so maybe I will make one of smaller scale. A radiator would be nice.
Everything is still up in the air so we will see how it progresses.

If the run time is that short, an open sump could be used instead of a radiator. Just add water/ice if it gets low or too warm. think of a make-break engine, only pump the water though the engine and back to the sump.
 
wow. Super project, and the play-by-play narrative is priceless.
Where did you get / how did you make the cast iron cylinder liners?
 
Thanks Rick
I don't remember where I bought the cast iron material as there are several suppliers. The liners are machined on the lathe and bored to the proper size.

There is a picture of the process at the beginning on post #8.
