Rolls Royce Merlin -1
This is the first day of test running. Rolls Royce Merlin-1 built with the guidance and knowledge of George Czarneki of Central Cylinder in Omaha Nebraska. This engine will soon be installed in the current world record holder, Miss U.S. 1 U-2 Unlimited Hydroplane, that set the record in 1962 at over 200mph. She will never go that fast again but will be able to entertain fans everywhere.

First trailer fire of the year. A little hiccup halfway through, but she runs good. Can't wait to get back on the water. #Allison #V12 #MissUSU36

Met a wrench who had worked on hydro engines (while we were running a vintage F1); he was clear why the Merlins were favored over the Allisions; the superchargers.
That is one beautiful sound, absolutely love it, thanks ❤
Sounds great!
Beautiful! What is the tq. and hp output?
Nobody is really sure of the torque rating. But we estimate the horsepower to be around 1400.
50 years ago or so, some fellow in Cali installed an Allison in a '55 Chevy. And I think E. J. Potter the "Michigan Madman" put one in a Plymouth station wagon drag race exhibition car. Cheap HP. Those were the days.
Are the tubes that are inboard of the cylinder heads fuel injection rails?
Not sure what you are looking at. I'm guessing what you are seeing are the spark plug wires for the intake spark plugs. Fuel is delivered by one injector, located below the carburetor, directly into the blower.
Is there two exhaust ports per cylinder? Or is this like a V24?
Yes, there are 4 valves per cylinder. 2 exhaust valves and 2 intake valves. Also 2 spark plugs, 1 on the intake side and 1 on the exhaust side, on each cylinder.
Love that sound !
Dream engine.👍
I saw a tractor puller with 2 side by side . The sound was incredible .
I love that big guttural sound at idle it makes that’s the only way I can describe it, I love it!
the sound can only be described as orgasmic.
I’d take that over a Merlin any day
A true BIG BLOCK
I like!
Will The Miss U.S. 1 be running in Guntersville this year?
At this time there is no answer to this question. Right now the Miss U.S. IV U-36 is the only vintage scheduled to be there. IF the Miss U.S. 1 will be on the water, it will be announced shortly before the event. This video was filmed on April 2nd in Omaha, the boat is in Detroit. There is a lot to get done in a couple of months.
Awesome machine! Made my day!
Running clean.
Such a pretty sounding engine...
Liberals love these engines
Please do explain
Was thumbing through a Popular Mechanics from the 50's and saw an ad for surplus 1710 engines in crates for $350 dollars, which would be a little under $4000 today, still cheap for what it is.
Wouldn't that be awesome. A running example of an Allison V-12 would be closer to 6 figures. At $4000 I'll take 10 and give you an amazing finders fee.
The operators of this engine should know better than using such a tank for petrol. Sad.
I don't understand your concern. What type of tank do you use to hold fuel for your Allison? This just a test start on a stand. This is not a permanent set up. I have another video of this engine mounted on a trailer. That is a little more permanent setup that we hope to take to car shows/cruise nights to run.
@@chuckh9383 it is well known that a cylinder shape tank does not benefit the properties of petrol when used as fuel in a combustion engine.
TB as long as there is positive feul flow to the carburetor, the shape of the vessel used to hold the fuel is of zero consequence. Plus the round black tank in this video is the oil tank.
@@chuckh9383 - you will find that other shapes will let the gasoline use its properties more efficient.
One of the best soundtracks in the world!
Why is the exhaust of the Merlins so smokey in comparison to the Allisons?
I would think it would depend on the individual engine. Kinda like, why does a Ford smoke more that a Chevy, sorry bad example. Lol. We also add a grove to our pistons and install a Cummings oil ring. That seems to help a lot with oil consumption.
Wow, what a beast. That thing runs as smooth as silk. Thanks for sharing.
Sounds so smooth. 💜 Music for the soul.
Hand me some marshmallows!
what a sexy engine!
Every bit the equal of the Merlin.
As a kid in Lemon Grove, I used to go sit in Bill Munceys driveway and listen to the boat fire up back in the shop.
Blue flame, mixture correct
amazing work of art these ol Allisons. Built 3 pulling tractors with war surplus mills back in the 80s. Strong, pullers. Their sound is exquisite. Hey Jay, we should put one in a power wagon.
Sorry but boring
Solid
What side is considered the rh bank in this application?
supercharger is on the front in this application power shaft the rear , right side is the right bank!!!
Beau moteur
A couple Codgers and a cool toy. Very nice Gent's..
I want to put that in my Mitsubishi Shogun
Tons of money all over the place in that hanger. Wonder what's in the crates?
Does it do anything but make noise
It's almost 80 years old and it makes a 64 year old, 6500 pound wooden boat go 130 mph. But it is such a beautiful noise.
Oh the fumes. Cough cough.
What does she get for mileage ???? How many GPM ?? HAHA.
When test firing on the stand, we burn around 5 gallons in 15 minutes. In the boat turning laps, it's about 1.5 gallons per mile.
I think we can all agree , that manifold clamp sucks....
Is this what drives a turbo prop ?
Those blue flames . The mixture is spot on.
Bank 1 seems to be doing ah lot of the work . might be the lighting.
That is amazing, love the sound of a V12,harmony to the ears, thank you for sharing that experience Guys, 🥰
Good evening, that engine stand was impressive also. I wonder how they rotate it? They have the locking wheel with a through pin or clamp device. I couldn't see how they used the sprockets on the rotating shaft to turn it. It sure was beefy enough for the job. Thanks for the video and take care.
I love the Simmons on Vendome.
Is that a leak or did you spill a little oil on that beautiful lady's right exaust manifold? You mean she's not getting too hot sitting still like that?
This was the first time we tried to see if she would even run. We just completely built a new cylinder bank. I hadn't sealed the valve cover gaskets yet, incase we need to get back in to readjust the valves. That has be taken care of. We have a hose hooked up, the water outlet hoses are down in the floor drain.
Boy she runs smooth as silk... Was that an inertia starter I heard? Seems like there might be control over a clutch engagement if my ear is correct? Anyone know the specifics of how that starter functioned? Sounds like it spins up a weight and then has an electromag clutch engagement perhaps?
I think I hear an exhaust leak lmao Jkjk beautiful engine I probably couldn't afford a head gasket
