A hive of Shermans.... :D As far as the smoke, all large engines burn oil and spit unburned fuel out until they warm up. The larger the cylinder bore, the looser the tolerances have to be when the engine is cold, to account for the huge pistons expanding from the heat as the engine gets closer to it's normal operating temps. Air cooled engines have to be built to even looser tolerances, to account for hot weather and burn even more oil when in cooler temps.
I figured these vintage engines weren’t as tightly built as modern car and piston airplane engines are. I always thought the reason was because of technology they had back then compared to now.
Wow thanks Rita for sharing! I probably will never get a chance to ever hear or see one in person. And your videos get me as close to the action as possible.
Hi Rita thanks my friend, there is a huge differance between the two motors, the wright is an aircraft engine adopted to use in a tank that is the main reason for the smpke for it gathers in the bottom cylinders when not running and must be turned over to clear the cylinders before it is started, loved the video my friend thanks
I'm very well aware, that subject was spoken on the multibank video but some people still found it to make too much smoke which is why I posted this one, a really nice comparison and both tanks/engines are kept and maintained pretty much by the same caring hands.
Love the work that you do Rita, your video quality is always top spec and you give the people what they want, good footage AND sound, no pointless commentary or silly music. Keep it up Tankgirl 👍
FYI, when a radial engine is shut down, the dry sump stop working. Thus, the oil in the cylinders and block all drain down into the lower cylinders. This oil in the cylinders is why they smoke so much on start up. Also why they must hand crank it over a few times to allow oil to drain out of the cylinders via the valves so it will not hydro lock the cylinder and bend a rod.
ALL radial engines accumulate oil in the cylinders while not running. Whether in a tank or airplane. After warm up and when running at speed, they clean up a lot.
If only I could have filmed a ground run of a Leonides in a piston provost that hadn’t run in 9 months. It had been inhibited to prevent corrosion and we had to make sure the local housing estate was upwind. Took a while to blow the smoke away!!
Ms. Rita you are living my DREAM. I would love be in a Sherman Tank , T-34 and a Tiger. As far getting to see something that served in WW 2, I got the see a B-25G bomber that was in Europe. Thanks for the video. Till we meet again. Over and Out.
All large engines smoke on startup, it's not really a big deal. I'm sure most of the commenters on the previous video haven't seen a modern locomotive start. They would be shocked
Sounds amazing, great video, for a real time opinion of the petrol Chrysler engines read Tank Action by David Render (an armoured tank commanders war 1944-45) brilliant book
Having crewed n commanded British MBT’s for over 18 yrs the one constant is black smoke on start up, morning first parade n start of a sqn o CR2’s n the the whole hanger is black with smoke. 😂🤣🤣
mas é típico quando se usa um motor de avião eles por norma quando tem de aquecer o óleo e quando iniciam o seu funcionamento é perfeitamente normal fazerem fumo no inicio

love the sound of an aircraft engine starting even when it is inside a tank.

love hearing a radial engine firing up, and seeing it burn off oil the oil that sits in the lower cylinder bores
Love the ARRrrr 975 :D Lovely sound :D

I am more than happy to share all these experiences with you! This is the kind of comment that really motivates me! Thank you for watching dear!
Love your videos, its really great 👍 that you put them up without crappy music, so we can just hear the engine sounds 🍻
It sounds like me getting up in the mornings, all lumpy and bumpy , great bad burble sounds !
That's me atm, nose stuffy from tank dirt! Thank for watching!

Once again Rita, you've presented an awesome video of a very rare M-1 Sherman tank, thank you!
Thank you for watching dear!

I had headphones on for this one. Thanks Rita!
Radials have oil that collects in the cylinders at start up. That's why you have to turn them over before starting.
Very true!
Thanks for sharing, Rita! I really enjoy your videos! You are helping to keep history alive. Stay safe, my friend.
That's why you always hand crank a radial aero engine before starting, to get the oil out of the lower cylinders.
Ms. Rita you are living my DREAM. I would love be in a Sherman Tank , T-34 and a Tiger. As far getting to see something that served in WW 2, I got the see a B-25G bomber that was in Europe. Thanks for the video. Till we meet again. Over and Out.
excellent Rita as usual.
Thank you dear!
Another fantastic video :D
diesel next ? love all the Sherman goodness
The engine Lindbergh chose for his cross the ocean single handed performance. Sometimes it had the first shot fired by the Breeze Cartridge Starter.
Rita you are amazing 👍great work!
When Smaug gets indigestion, the whole world listens.
Thank you, great video, what a sound! 😍
Awesome sound!!!
It very much is! :D
Awesome!
Love Sherman tanks! 👍

my heart still belongs to the meteor and multibank. accept no substitute. :P

Do we now have a verdict? 😄

Smokin hot 🔥, the Sherman is nice to :)
Sly, sir, sly! ahah
What freedom sounds like....
👍 Yep .. gotta 'cough' out all of those oil-clogged throats. Then .. we can roar in unison .. full-throated 😊.
Hearing the sound of that engine starting reminds me of eating hummus, can’t think why....
🙄
If you were my doughter, I would be very proud of you and happy too.

Como eu disse mas mesmo assim dá para ver muita differenca. O Multibank quase que nao faz fumo nenhum comparado com este Radial.
1:55 we get it, you vape.
Que montón de humo al arrancar, sin embargo en todos los videos que he visto donde arrancan el motor de un tanque de la sgm es igual.
Ever hear of #TankGirl ?
These engines are older than most of the people operating them. Of course they smoke.
