There is something utterly joyous in this. Loud popping and banging caused by a conglomeration of vintage British engine parts and bits of steel brought together in a shed by an Englishman who knows a thing or two. Just bloody perfect.
Not often I use the word 'splendid'. Last time was May 24 when my brother and I flew the Stinson to Old Warden to meet up with the Dakota Squadron. So I heard you use the word just now and I wholeheartedly endorse its employment. Splendid! Thank you.
Excellent video, satisfying conclusion to the series. Definitely my favorite channel these days. Watched once for entertainment and a second time to get all the details.
Absolutely Brilliant!! I've followed this project right through with great interest. The engine sounds sweet and with a couple of fine tuning tweaks, will be perfect. Cheers from New Zealand.
That is an amazing job Sir! It is always nice when a project comes together, it sounds nice too. Looking forward to the 'wash-up' meeting. In days of yore we lived close to the A17 Newark to Kings Lynn road, TV in those days consisted of a black & white 405 line or some such thing, any way the point of this is that when a vintage car went past the house with Magneto Ignition it created unbelievable interference, the old TV was not best pleased.
When you fired it off without water and it ran, I thought success, it runs good. When you put water in it and cranked, it spit water out of the exhaust and it was " oh joy, the head gasket popped", though it ran OK. Glad you were able to source a proper gasket for it, the engine should run great next time. By the way, the only good place for a milkshake is with a burger and fries not the crankcase.
Thought I saw a bit of vapour puffing from the back side of the head around the 27 minute mark. Sorry about the gasket, but glad you found a NOS replacement! Bravo!!
Brilliant , it’s freezing cold here in Ontario …a good day to work on the Chilton in my (heated) shop and to watch your great progress . Thanks for sharing
Excellent, great to see it running, sounds great. Would be nice stuck on the front of a Piet! You've given me fresh impetus to get my TVR/Spitfire engine running, I think now that the timing must've gone grossly out somehow, maybe due to multiple removings of the distributor, given your experience with the Bendix being only out by a gnat's crochet. Speaking of which that "hulk" mag would look good on a certain A50 which I need to get to you promptly for further mechanical shenanigans. TTFN
@@pfield39 I’m keeping an eye out for a couple of mags for the A50; going to make a start on the Lycoming shortly, have a good look around it and service the mags whilst I’ve got the Bendix Scintilla on my mind.
I think you are right; just been looking at pictures of A and B heads. I didn't realise the B had a slightly different shaped combustion chamber. BF gasket sounds correct 👍
Great video, I learned a lot. So happy to hear it run. I love your practical methods of setting timing. No fluff, just spark at the right time. Is this engine going in an actual aircraft when it's finished?
Who on earth chucks a perfectly good Workmate in a skip? And, yes - perhaps counterintuitively, it's important to keep one's neighbours habituated to a certain level of noise output. If you don't, you're likely to have them come to see the reduced level as the new norm.
@@Del350K4 the Workmate was a bit ropey but it comes in handy at times. The two galvanised old water tanks that were in the loft got saved too; they are great for laying lengths of timber on for cutting, big sheets of ply etc. I don’t throw much away!
@FlyingForFunTrecanair ...and quite right too! I'm an inveterate hoarder, and I'm quietly delighted each time I do find a good use for something I've been stashing for years.
I remember well how I could not get the A65 in my Aeronca L3B to run properly. I thought it was very considerate of Bendix to put numbers on their mags, but like you said - they do not denote cylinder numbers!

That put a smile on my face. Thank you for sharing that. The engine sounded so sweet.

Brilliant outcome after all your hard work & a quality video to boot :D
Wonderful!!!!!

great to see, but now you need a Pietenpol to fly it in!
@@nigelhitchman7017 It’s going in a cycle car. Less paperwork.
Most excellent!
I think the gasket they sent you is a 14.9 ford model B gasket.
Great to see it running

Looking good!
Before I watch this video, I predict that it will, *indeed,* run. And purr like a sabre toothed tiger!
And now, ON with the show!
@ 24:30 - *I WAS RIGHT!!*
I thought I was wrong, once, long ago, but I was mistaken. LOL
Congratulations, Nick!! Sounds sweet!! 👍
@@kbjerke thanks, I’m very pleased with it 👍🏻

@@davestarr7112 It’s a small bore Model A so not really suitable to fly. However, it’s going in a GN inspired cycle car made from vintage parts.
@@FlyingForFunTrecanair OK, understood. Something else I knew nothing about, but I learned. Thanks again.
