Thanks, although I am still trying to get the time to run it up again as I have made and fitted a new set of carb barrels and also Refitted the toothed belt blower drive with a slightly different drive speed so it will be interesting to see how they affect the running, If it runs at all that is
Well as its been quite some time since my last little model engine confessions and even longer since updating this thread I thought it high time i pulled finger (as they say) and posted a bit more on the V12 project. I decided to do a bit of a rethink with this engine and went ahead and made some sand casting gear and cast up a couple of new cases for the V12. photos below show the depths of insanity that some will sink into if left alone long enough.
So hears the end results
Yeah I know I said a couple but if I want to end up with at least one good engine I should probably allow for so oopsies, lol
So………..been a little busy over the last few years and sorta sidetracked. I have however stumbled across this engine sitting way back in the workshop languishing in a sad state of neglect and have brought it forward to the front of the que once again. I stripped it down to check out the inside and give it a big clean and found a broken piston so am now in the process of remaking a set of pistons to slightly improved design. I'll update with photos in the next couple of days.
This engine has been languishing on the back burner for quite long enough, I've stripped it down and will commence the long drawn out process of cleaning everything up and doing a bit of a reassessment, after which a full update will be loaded up, along with the flat 12 project that was birthed from my first attempt at machining up the block………………………more to follow soon.
Still working on getting this engine back together with a new crank with a shorter stroke. the original crank will be going into a second V12 with a slightly different block.
