24cc DIESEL ENGINE FROM SOLID

Here we have the cylinder blank machined from solid 2 1/4″ bar stock 4140 steel.

Next mission is to machine in the ports, then we’ll be onto the honing and final lapping of this monster.

Until next time

Thats a lot of swarf made , Dean. All looking very smart. Looking forward to seeing it finished.

Thanks Keith, I’m slowly getting there.

OK so finally been able to machine the ports into this giant cylinder liner, so here’s the latest update.

next step is to finish lap the cylinder and make it ready to take a piston and contra. At 32mm bore that’s going to be an interesting task.

Here’s a quick look at the cylinder test fitted into the rest of the crankcase assembly.

 

 

After lapping the cylinder I’ll start on machining up the components for the compound piston assembly.

Until next time,

That’s a big cylinder! Best wishes with the lapping, looking forward to more..

My fingers still hurt when I think of flick starting my McCoy Redhead 10cc 50 years ago. 24cc is a beast!!
