Nice looking work Jim. I'd love to try some casting, liquid metal on a third floor balcony would probaby get a darwin award or a guest appearance on Jack Arse!...

Sorry about the web site, I will get the web buys money and the site will be back up. As soon as I have some time I plan to update and simplify the site. Jack...
Mark, I'm sure your neighbors would be delighted with you for making their place smell like a private corner of hell! (lol) I'll make a webpage of the mold in...
The balcony has concrete tiles floating on polystyrene insulation. I haven't done any welding or casting out there, as I have visions of a spark going down the...
I'm new here. I'm also wondering if stock VW heads and cylinder sleeves could be used to make a dual row radial engine. This way one can use the VW heads...
You won't do a four stoke radial with an even number of cylinders, because you can't get a balanced firing order. Because every cylinder only fires every...
Hello John - a copyof my post of 30 Oct to Miniature Internal Combustion Engines ***** (snip) I looked at some of my previous sketches (occupational hazard of...
The HCI site should be available. I was wanting to update and change some things but I will need help doing that so I just got what was there back up. Thanks...
If you want to use the VW head why not just cut the head and re-weld it with a piece of scrap head in the same manner that the 1/2VW heads are? I have 2 of...
If you are interested in a single system that will provide electronic ignition and electronic fuel injection there is a company that I have dealt with that...
I have started to build a 1 cyl engine using the hci drawings as a starting point and as many off the shelf parts as possible. The engine will be for...

Since they aren't going on a plane I could cast them for you. If they differed from my heads I'd have to sandcast them but that shouldn't be too much of a...
Thats a nice looking plane! While you could probably make an R-180 work increased drag and mounting headaches would probably be reason enough to shy away from...
Hey edi, Thanks for the thoughts and suggestions. I'll mull them over. Also, it would seem that electronic ignition can fire any combination of cylinders, be...
Hello John - Electronic ignition is fine. Probably the most difficult operating regime is the outboard motor. They seem to be quite happy with electonics. ...
Hi edi, Imagine: 2 x 6... using standard vw heads, sleeves, crank, etc...at 2200 rpm, and with the right cam and carb, each cylinder is good for what--15hp?...
Hello John - Imagining is fine - putting it down on paper is better. I would always look long and hard at incorporating a speed reducer between the engine and...
Good work Jim, Do you really need to cast the top head? Couldn"t you just use heat sink extrusion ? The side valve design really looks like a nice simple...
