I got a start on the 180 this winter made a case out of 150 lb. block of 7050 forging made it one part not 3 and mounts are machined with case too. made a 2...
Ed, you are so far ahead of me that I can only wince at my paltry pace. Lack of the neccesary skills and tools, make the learnig curve very steep. I will work...
Does anyone have any CAD drawings of the R220? There are a couple of things I'd like to play around with before I start cutting metal, and CAD would save me...
... Pete, I did some changing and used AutoCad. I found it very helpful. I also used the surplus heads from an A084 GenSet motor from Saturn Surplus. They...
Pete I forgot about Phil's cylinder find. I haven't seen the engine, but the pictures he has sent look great. It seems like everybody is out to top me, and...
... Jack, No one has "topped" you! You supplied the belief that this was possible. And you fly behind your dream. My is holding down the corner of my...
Phil, for some reason I am unable to see the attached pictures. Any chance you could put them in the photos file??( or enlighten me how to view them) Cheers ...
... Pete, I've never posted photos before, but I think they are there. See the Surplus A084 Yahoo Group for more info on the donor engine. Saturn Surplus...
Michael, While trying to post some photos, I noticed your photos of Half VW Heads. What airplane is that, and do you have better pictures of it? Phil...
It's labeled a 180, but has seven cylinders. Isn't that a 220? Are those the OH cam heads? I've never seen them before. Thanks for the inspiration, Phil! ...
Yes sorry. That is the R-220. It had been sitting in the shed on the show stand all winter and we got it out and it fires right up. It does have the Over...
Phil, I have been admiring the picture you posted with the O84 cylinder and head. I have an O84 and think your onto something there. Can you project how much...
... Everett, I haven't a clue. I read all the claims and formula and the answers are all unexpected. I have two "keyboard Dyno's" and they don't agree. When...
I am familiar with that group, Phil. My O84 came from one of thier members. There is some real talent there. I think your going to be happy with your choice,...
Hi Phil, Les Smoot has played with dozens of AO84 engines, converting them from gen-sets to aircraft and airboat use. He's tried numerous ways to eek more...
... Hi Andy, Thank you for your thoughts. I'm just interested in a low cost education. I want a much lighter five cylinder radial and would be delighted...
Hello Phil, I read wellblastmedown's message and agree that 084 heads lack cooling area for anything over stock compression. However, I would just like to...
... Everett, Thanks for your note. I agree, Less's experience is with the opposed four and it doesn't cool as well unless Pressure Cowled. I will be running...
A five cylinder radial using these jugs should be an interesting project, Phil. Since you're not expecting toget 75 HP out of it, I encourage you to continue...
... Was the question about power at 2150 RPM just rhetorical or did I miss something? Is there some reason (other than tip speed) to limit this configuration...
I assumed you would be limiting the rotational speed of the internal parts to what Jack & Andy designed them to turn at, Phil. Is your experiment going...
Phil We did some tests up to 3200 on the five cylinder flat head rig. Probably due to breathing difficulty, the power curve was well on the way to flat by that...
Hi I am new to this group, hope to exchange building experience with group member in the future. I just bought one R180 plan from HCI and study it thoroughly...
