I guess you could just JB weld it. Saves any heat

Just half way through watching a Youtube video from Stapleton 42. He visites mainly race engine builders. This one is about boat racing. Using the Rolls Royce Merlin & Griffin engines . Plus the American copy versions. What is good about the video is the guys are explaining & showing the engine internals & how they get 3000 hp out of them. Quite an amazing video. I think they stopped using them around 2017. Plus they used Helicopter turbine engines as well.

We have lots os small birds, Sparrows & Thrushes. Never seen them been attacked. On the other hand as said further up the thread , I have seen Crows attacking the Kite's.

Stev.

I could not use that in the workshop. I would be forever going into the house for a Butty.

I beleive they were let free some years ago at Harewood house near Harrogate. We ride out past there regularly on the Motorcycle & there are lots of them flying around.

We have 2 regulars that fly over our Village most days. On Saturday there were 4 of them, the Crows are always trying to attack them. I guess there territory or nest protecting. They are a sight to behold with a 5 foot wingspan.

Give it a rest guys. Let the dead lie

Latest video on the hit & miss engine.

Watch all CEE vids. The dog takes the biscuit. His wife does fantastic video too. Who said Youtube was crap.

Well anything on this earth that is going to take any type of strain requires to be Loyds tested. Whatever it is there is a requirement for it to take 1.5 times & sometimes twice it's expected load. Weight, pressure electric etc. This thing as far as I can see was never tested at all.

Apart from in a swimming pool. There whole assets need stripping & given to the poor souls families.

Steve.

Awesome. Looks fantastic too.

Clarks, machine mart. 1 litre. I have been using it for 2 years & still have some left. It sometimes smokes a bit but does the job & was not expensive.

Steve.

I am glad someone asked this question as I have some the same & had no idea what it meant.

Steve.

Well after having Covid, I am back on track with the Hit & Miss stationary engine. Up to part 9 now. It is a long one so for those wishing to see a 2 min video then it is not for you. But for anyone wishing to kill 45 mins then please feel free to have a quick peak. The picture shown is not mine. As I do not have one yet.

My father had an Electrical shop in Leeds many years ago. I sometimes worked there on Saturdays. One of the jobs he left for me was doing the fan heater clean. It was very rare that it was anything else than the shafts needed cleaning & bushes. Most of those type of heaters had self aligning bearings in the end caps. Also they were usually bronze. Remember back then most of those heaters were made in the UK. Not many far Eastern goods came here.

There is a guy in the USA called i do cars. All he does is strip wrecked motors down to see why they failed. I have just watched him tear down a 1.0 ecoboost like ours.

Not good. Terrible idea to do what Ford did. If you have 30 mins of your life to spare have a look at this.

Steve.

Only by removing the sump.

Steve

Yes it was 5-20 full synthetic. I believe some use 5-15. Our next door neighbour has a fiesta 1.0 ecoboost 2014. It's done 86,000 miles. Serviced by local guy. Never missed a beat. ????.
