Why I Designed and Built an Engine From Scratch
Starting at just $1, click here to get the $60 coupon at JLCCNC: jlccnc.com/?from=nodds
In this Video I explain my motivation and the steps I took to make my idea for a 60 degree V Twin minibike engine and make it into running prototype. The engine was designed by myself in Fusion360 using a mixture of off the shelf parts and one off components. Once my design was complete I used the lost foam casting process to turn my foam patterns into a solid aluminium crankcase. The next step was to use Fusion360's CAM to create all of the G code, this allowed me to CNC machine all of the important features on my Converted Optimum CNC mill. Once everything was machined, it was time to fit it all toget...

Go to jlccnc.com/?from=nodds for all your custom manufacturing needs. In today's video after a quick re-cap on how I lost foam cast the crankcase, I machine all of the critical dimensions on the master con-rod using my boring head on my CNC milling machine. I also press in bronze bushes and ream them to final size. I then dummy assemble the engine with 3D printed intake manifolds. Completion is...
Machining a Conrod for the Retro V-Twin
Просмотров 6 тыс.3 месяца назад
In today's Video I show you how I machined a connecting rod for my lost foam cast V Twin engine on my converted CNC Mill. The conrod is made from 1045 hot rolled steel and will run bronze bushings in the small ends. I designed and programmed the part in Fusion 360 before machining it from 25x25mm square stock. The rod weighs 100 grams making it lighter than a stock Lifan pit bike conrod by 14 g...

Lost Foam Casting a Retro V-Twin

In this video I test out a CNC Router and make a pattern for a new V-Twin engine. This is so I can make sure the CNC router is tuned well enough not to make a mess of my XPS foam and make accurate patterns for the V4 rear crankcase half. I then attempt to cast the pattern, the first attempt was a failure and the second attempt went perfectly. All the CAD/CAM was done in fusion360

    Now if you could cast a mirrored head. Allowing the use of a single carburetor , and the exhaust to rear exit on the rear cylinder. This is awesome! Imagine a short block, with the ability to use two Suzuki DR 650 cylinders! A roughly 1300 cc engine. Anything from 900cc to 1400cc-1500 cc😮. In theory, I'm thinking around 1200 would be better, 1180's-1190's cc displacement. Making power a bit higher in the rev range. Make it a bit safer on a mini bike.. a slightly lower bottom end tq! Maybe make replica air craft cylinders at or greater than 2000cc per cylinder, with a 5"-6" bore, like the liberty engine maybe make it a bit more modern shorter stroke , lighter piston. 4340 rods and crank. Cast a light weight piston using old pistons add some more silicon, make a good hypereutectic piston alloy. HD and long rods , get a roughly 8:1 compression, a 4"stroke with a 6" bore, use two 1.95"- 2.0" exhaust valves, two 2.100" intake valve use a custom cam grind made from tool steel with adjustable followers around .600" lift 280° 235-240 @ .050" with 300° on the exhaust use two 38mm carbs, on a plenum that bolts between cylinders. Using safety wire. Use one for idle the second opens at 1/4 throttle. With the pistons having a large dish hemisphere shaped directly under the sparkplug with smooth grooves around the edges to allow the air/fuel to swirl when the piston is reaching tdc. Use bevel gears to drive the cams. Off a 20 tooth sprocket driving a 40 tooth sprocket on a shaft with bevel gears and a oil pump driven from the far end. And a "distributor" on the near end. Actually a dual cdi looking like a distributor. A rotor with two metal bits for the pickups to read, one pickup mounted 1/2" higher than the other so the get their own separate ignition times. Looking like a old style magneto or distributor. With the cdi output going through beaded conduit, to the cylinder tops with a motorcycle coil mounted on the spark plugs the cam covers having fins to appear as a sleeve valve engine. Then scale this down with a 4"bore and 4" stroke for a mini bike , or even a smaller 3.25" bore and 3" stroke using two valves, 1.5" 1.25" intake /exhaust. A 30 mm carburator, have a mini block, small block normal block, then the big block! Sell them as kits finished castings that can require final machine work. If I had a shop with equipment I'd make one hopefully sell them! Definitely build one! ✌️ Awesome work

      @OddsandEndsMachining 7 дней назад

      Other than the fact it makes it unique and my own engine. It would mean a new 3 piece crank which needs machining, hardening and grinding. . . Not to mention the Honda rods are far too short for the narrow V angle.

I'm looking into fixturing some of the stuff and selling it, small scale for fun... And because I get asked a lot where I got it 😄 I'm really intrigued by your casting and engine building stuff, but I'm hesitant to put the time into designing it, just to fail after a couple of minutes or hours running 😄 After all I'm not an engine designer, and my software engineering degree won't help much there 😄 But I might try building a frame, I really loved that! It seemed quite straight forward, but I would 3D scan a minigp or buccimoto first I guess, just to get in the right ballpark regarding dimensions, and maybe put some time into some solidworks analysis, see if I can improve on the design.. For recording the racing just buy a 360 camera, insta360 X2 will do, those go quite cheap now, and it's pretty hassle free, just clamp it somewhere and forget about it 😁

      Only planning at this stage, I have decided I am going to do away with the cassette gearbox (seeing as I don’t have alternate ratios anyway). The plan is to split the rear of the engine down the middle in two halves which will make them a manageable 8kg pour each and they will be far easier to gate. I feel like once I get some momentum it should all happen fairly quickly. Regards Jonny
