As an old British 50cc and 125cc motorcycle road racer from the 1960s, I really appreciate your videos. I raced in an interesting era when the 4-stroke engine had to give way to the 2-stroke’s superior horsepower. Although compared to the 4-stroke, 2-strokes were tricky to ride with their extremely narrow power band. This necessitated 50cc bikes having 12 and even 14 speed gearboxes, and a usable rev range of around just 350 revs. So it kept you pretty busy! I’m a retired British engineer, ironically living in Oslo! I’m now in my late 70’s, but still very much a 2-stroke fan. Keep up the good work. It would be fun to meet you sometime, lykke til, Michael Leary

@@2STROKESTUFFING Right! And also the video editing and even your humor is more recognizeable than before! 😊👍🏼
Just remember if you put a bridge in the exhaust port you need to drill holes in the piston for lubrication and cooling. Otherwise the bridge will heat up more than it should and it will snag the piston.
i had completely forgot about this. good catch
make the bridge deeper so that you can guide cooling water thru a channel in it??
@@DerStoeppel Not worth it
Note:. Bridge in exh should be hand- relieved back from bore by approx .004".
Been doing this on kart open motors and controlled motors for decades. Works great!
Zero issues. Oil holes in piston will be Much Less necessary!!
* Best exh port is 3 port. Large " oval" with "well designed" side ports.
Keep champhering to a minimum.
Port opening must be incredibly parallel to ring!!!!!!
CRG MAXTER 50mm bore on last motors developed, were fantastic, durable.
Piston skirt needs to not impede feed into side fransfers.

Lovely Video, as always!

You work a lot for those videos man! Thanks for the explanations and everything as a machinist I know how much work goes in there and you’re doing a great job testing these things! I would probably never have tried a single port like that without at least the little bridge like you did on the new sleeve because of that weak point in the ring but it really is noce to have someone actually try it! Thanks a lot!
Yup it's been 3 years.... It would be nice to see you get that thing out on the salt flats this summer
This has all been done before. The numbers for max port width in a ringed engine are well known. At 50cc you might try to eliminate the ring and go ABC although, the piston expansion rate would be tremendous.

Run a ringless piston and run nitro or alcohol / oil mix keeping piston cool just a thought. . Cylinder has to be tapered smaller at top and wider at bottom for ringless piston set up ../ \ ..
This is great Alex, I’d forgotten about this project you were working on and it popped up on my RUclips feed. The last time I seen you on here you were casting the engine. You are doing a great job. I’d love to do something like this.
Hey man, love your work. I would suggest making your cylinder sleeve out of cast iron or brass just for experimentation purposes then go with plaited aluminium later. Cheers. 👍
oh man I love this guy's work
That’s awesome! Keep at it that’s very interesting stuff there, can’t wait to see when you have the kinks out!
You’re a LEGEND in the Making Buddy…. Good Luck with everything, I truly love watching & learning more about how you’re getting SOOO MUCH HorsePower out of engines Sooo Small. By watching you work on these Small Engines, I’m learning more on how I can get more out of Bigger 4-Stroke Engines which I work on. I’ll see you again, next time 👍
Try a bigger ring gap. Had similar problems with a Kart engine. After I extend the ring gap the problem was gone.
These videos are the best!
Huge respect for your dedication. Keep going. I'm subbed and will keep coming back to watch.
Wife thinks im dumb for how excited i get when you post new vids.. cant wait to see you on the flats with this engine..
Cant wait to see the supercharged version of this motor.
I've been pondering that idea for 5 years lol bout time i see it done by someone
Closest thing i have seen is Detroit diesel supercharged 2strokes
Hi, I needed to leave a idea for you to consider:
You could taper your sleeve and have a tapered hole in your cylinder. Just like a morse cone. This will give you the opportunity to switch sleeves with ease. Clean out carbon from between the sleeve and cylinder, hampering your heat dissipation. Moreover pressing an aluminum sleeve into an aluminum cylinder will not be easy, you run the risk of damaging both parts. Jan Thiel also did this with some cylinders, I do not recall which exactly, but I guess you know his work well ;). I hope you get something out of this suggestion! Good luck!
P.s. This might help with timing your sleeve as well. You can fit it, drill a hole for a pin in the top surface of the cylinder, and fit the sleeve even exactly the same every time.
Downside will be that the sleeve will need to be very precise in order to get the heights of your ports to line up!
Heating the cylinder block and chilling the sleeve will let it fall together without any pressing necessary
Right on Guys for giving suggestions I only know of cast iron solid cast small blocks. I was going to suggest a diff. Composite of ring. I am outa my league a lil. Thumbs up to the producer the engineer and the star of the show.B.t.w Do not bore the hole 2 big possible ROD problem. G.L.
I too am an old 2 stroke racer from the 60's when we were developing fast bikes from slow street bikes. Very innovating ideas with the captured ring. I ran an exhaust port shaped something like a T. I imagine your exhaust port shape is designed that way for scavenging purposes. Also ran a dykes ring. Too much friction??? Seems a larger ring would be easier to hold with your captured ring system. Also we had a graduated chamfer on the top of the exhaust port that eased the ring in a little less abruptly. Love this two stroke stuff! Thanks.
People like you keep the 2-stroke alive, keep up the good work!!!
You deserve more sub man
Fantastic Videos, really appreciate your work and it has given me ideas for my projects.
One thing - you may have already thought of this - 100% exhaust can still be achieved by adding the thickness of the bridge to the dimensions of the port width = 50% each side of the bridge.... you could then have two bridges if needed.
exactly!
or, even more....^^

@@DerStoeppel Just what it says, your not Autocratic too are you ? More intelligence than wot you wrote.Goodbye.Trev New Zealand
I know thicker rings aren’t great for power, but I seems like a ring double the thickness with chamfers on both sides would alleviate some problems. The ring/cylinder contact would be about the same while allowing the ring to ramp over unsupported walls.
Never give up! The exhaust so large was a gamble but you tried, now you will have the optimal solution 👌🏻 .. I await the moment that we will hear the engine spinning fast!🙌
Can't wait for the supercharge and Rotary valves stuff!
Me neither, and I realized there's suitable small roots blowers available which could be used as a start. Working on not having my builds drag out soooo long...
@@2STROKESTUFFING Is there really stuff that small? Please when you eventually try give us more info, wanna try myself one day :D
You can’t super charge a two stroke .
@@tonywright8294 Hold my beer!
Indeed hold the beers 😂
No, no, ....thank you, for your tenacity, inventiveness and dedication.... cheers buddy ❤️
Watching this come together is as cool as the Deathwish truck, the camaraderie is inspiring.
The more variety of design you test, the better. Good work so far!
The sneak peak looks a lot like the FST cilinder (Foekema Symmetric two-stroke)
Or Frits Overmars' FOS-cylinder... I've never seen anyone pull off the scavenging with this layout, hoping my brute force supercharger approach will circumvent that issue.
@@2STROKESTUFFING Did not realize that there was a scavenging issue with this design. Can you evolve on that?
@@andli461 I've never heard about anyone getting good power out of the system. Might be cause no one has tried "properly" though. Symmetry is key.
@@2STROKESTUFFING I’m a bit puzzled about that as well...since the first time I saw Frits sketches/prototypes I have really liked the idea. 👍 One thinks someone would have solved it by now. 🤔
@@andli461 It's harder than it seems I think. So many things that can throw the symmetry off. Uneven heat distribution, small imperfections in the transfer ducts, case turbulence etc. Such an elegant design though, and now I'm going to defile i with a supercharger....
I feel your 'Fuck It'
What are your thoughts on running in two strokes? A myth?
Definitely a myth😁
@@2STROKESTUFFING Why am i not totally convinced lol
if you use a supercharger, does that mean you no longer need the crankcase to do the pumping?? does the fuel+air charge go straight in to the cylinder?
Dude, even a 2 stroke ideling the way it should isn't even running 20% of the time, that kind of tells you what to expect ;)
@@raymondo162 The bottom end still needs lubricating though.
I think a bridge may simplify many things. In racing concepts I think making an engine work is a starting point, paring it back down to make crazy power is the second step. Great wishes for the next phase, I look forward to it!
I know it has to hurt to lose the full width exhaust port, but you may yet be able to come back to this idea for a visit later. Something in the back of my head is remembering pistons that were plated in a particular fashion that allowed them to be used without rings. Something about expansion and contraction rates the would match the cylinder closely enough that rings were not necessary.
maybe do more than 100%?? something like 200° with one 10-20° bridge in the middle??
It's been 6 months since I told you to add a bridge to the exhaust !
@Eddie Hitler Considering the name you have, you can brush your teeth with a toilet brush
@Eddie Hitler Forgive him, Eddie. He obviously hasn’t discovered Google yet. Or IMDB. Or comedy.....
This Norwegian American loves the project. You also share my taste in music Delta Blues.
Before I watch. Congratulations!
Edit: Thankfully, the words I now live by are written on your wall.
You are an amazing example of resilience. Keep going.
You have a great proof of concept. All of this work is something that you and all involved should be proud of.
Nothing worth doing is easy!
It looks like to me that they heat isn't able to get away from The Ring quick enough and eventually melts the ring
Loving it as always brother 🤙 enjoy and good luck!
Sad to see this struggle but I’m stoked to see you work regardless
Mate your diligence is impressive. Keep up the good work.
I been there. When wide ports failed or resulted in poor ring life I shifted a bridged exhaust. When that also gave me heat transfer issues (being an air cooled engine). I finally landed up with 3 ex ports. One main and two aux.
Glad to see that ear pro. I can only imagine how loud that pipe must be inside.
Why would he be inside the tuned pipe ?
Keep working at it man. I think keeping the single bridge is key to keeping all the flow you need. Unfortunately the ring Gap has to stay up against the bridge. Excellent video I'm a two-stroke fan from the '80s.
Need more guys like you figuring stuff out in sheds
Keep at it Bud
Try a ring like a total seal design. Make a ring with an inner lip. Then use a ring that catches that lip to hold the ring in place. It has no gap but is smaller diameter so does not contact the cylinder wall. Now no uneven parts on the contact ring. Contact ring should be very light contact. Almost zero tension when cold. Ring and engine expansion when warmed up will provide proper contact. You will need to pump heated coolant through the engine to provide enough ring seal to start.
Keep plugging away and I will keep watching
Keep rocking brother you will get it, I know it's possible, I built a killer weedeater, still fs 76, it turns 14000 rpm, and after 2 years of me abusing it, still kicking ass 33cc I think😎
Cannot wait for more future videos! Half time in the garage is gonna pay off
I know it probably won’t idle well at any low engine speed and may require some exotic coatings, but have you considered keeping 100% bore exhaust port but making a piston with NO ring like a glow fuel nitro engine?
Absolutely. I've heard it doesn't scale well, but I'm definitely trying it - just not in this engine.
Thanks for the reply 👍
Ok cool & understood; the only reason I recommended it was due to you planning to sleeve those cylinder, which would give you the option to go ringless like a glow engine, and the sleeve be replaceable, if it doesn’t turn out, or became damaged / worn.
I think the rings push opposite from the ring gap to the pivot. Hole on the ring changed to long hole or bigger. So it moves freely and won't feel stress. Hope you will be back soon. Love 2stroke.
Mad skills, I wish I had seen this when I was riding 2 strokes
I agree to thin of material on the ring at the locating pin you should only need a thin maybe .5 mm wide bridge maybe 1mm thick into the exhaust port just enough to hold it in place
Been waiting so long for a start video!!
The music really suits and complements the video.
Keep on going great content 👍😃💯 from Cornwall England
Worked on a competition RX2 motor in the 80's and it just chewed up apex seals at high rpm.
Made the single port a "bridge-port" resulting in a crazy increase in engine life.
Have no idea what the power loss was because we could not get the single port version to last long enough to get to the dyno.
A sensible move to drop the bridgeless port idea, you have chased your tail on that for so long and nothing so far has proved reliable. Keep up the good work, Kia kaha.
Thanks for sharing this with us. Have you thought about harmonics breaking the ring? The shockwave coming back into the cylinder. I was wondering why it would break at that point? Twice? Could it be a defect in the hole in the ring? Maybe you can try cutting the small hole with a laser. This is very exciting to watch. I grew up with mopeds in the 1970s. All of my friends had them. I had the fastest. One guy had a quicker one because he had it two speed. But I could take him in a mile run. it could run at 52 miles an hour on flat ground. It would go over 60 down the bridge On the way to the beach. I live on the east side of Jacksonville Florida. 13 miles from Jacksonville Beach. It sounded like a bad ass chainsaw. I had a puch engine with a Jawa cylinder and piston. I made a spacer plate out of brass. I took the pedals off and had a piece of 3/4” all thread with foot pegs on it. Straight bars. Long seat Suzuki tm 75 front end. Tomos rear wheel. 17mm racing carb that faced frontward. It was fast and agile but a itch to push to get gas. I would pass school buses going to school. Everybody was like what the fuck. It wasn’t pretty but it looked cool and one day I came home and my mother had given it away. Along with my two Honda motorcycles. That sucked but my dad gave me a 1964 1/2 Ford Mustang. He told me you can’t screw on a moped. And I can tell you that it’s a pretty tight fit in the backseat of a Mustang.
Awesome job
Love these videos
Keep building, you are a very skilled engineer
for the 100% bore exhaust design, have you considered a spiral piston ring design(essentially overlaping, all the way round twice)? with tapered ends tapering towards the piston on both ends during the heat expansion the ring simply slides the edge that is on top, and the edge that is on bottom towards each other but they can never meet, and it should require no locating pin(hence the tapered edges, the piston would need a deeper ring groove, and wider rings
I don't quite know how to explain this idea, and I have no drawing skills so hopefully what I've said puts forth the idea correctly, I can't find anyone whos done it before or any designs like it online
essentially a piston ring, but the edges keep going around another turn one under one over
Hi great videos.
Quick question what's the difference between your premature wear piston and broken ring piston? Why did you get premature wear instead of a piston ring braking?
I would be making an ABC type of engine here..Aluminum piston,Brass liner with a tapered bore that's Chrome plated..This way you eliminate the ring altogether and can have an exhaust port as large as you like.
@Joseph Tutor Its been in use in model airplane engines since the 70s..Research on Google...ABC model Airplane engine design and it's all there explained for you.
My 1997 rm125 has a chronic issue with seizing rings due to the exhaust port being wide curious to see how this motor holds up
I commented that it could break the piston ring and also the low pressure on the crankcase.
I hope to see the engine soon on the dyno!
How are you going to lubricate the exhaust bridge? Many two strokes I have seized because the exhaust side of the piston was not drilled below the ring land.
I love your dedication to this build, I would not have had the patience to get this far... But I do feel like I just watched a movie where the good guy dies in the end.
😁 The good guy will rise again!
@@2STROKESTUFFING excellent, a sequel! Keep up the great work. What about beefing up your fail point on the piston ring?
love the smell of 747 in the morning.
really interesting watching your development. 👍
3 years I was just thinking at the start of the vid how long has it bin sins the start on this epic adventure..I was at the start and I am still waiting..
LA sleeve co in California will make you whatever sleeve you want, at least they used to, even aluminum or Mag. It’s been probably 15 years since I’ve done that stuff but they were great to work with
Loved the video production on this one. The colour and tone were engaging & the blues music was sheer perfection. The costuming department did a great job with your plaid shirt as it really looked great with the overall colour temperature of the video. Your past life: -child care worker- Hollywood cinematographer!
Surely the locating hole in the piston ring needs to be sufficiently inside the inner circumference of the ring itself so you have the full width of the ring all the way around and eliminate week spots like that as from what I can see the hole intrudes into the width of the ring as it is now. Hope this helps.
I admire your tenacity!! And humbleness.

The sizeable flames that it spits impresses me a lot.
Looking forward to the next 4 stroke video!
Is the ring gap sufficient to to keep the ends from touching? If they touch the ring will be pushed in to the exhaust port.
There is a way to Turbo charge or even supercharge this engine too. you would need to install a rotary valve in the exhaust port to rotate the same speed as the crank shaft: - thus acting as a valve. open on the down stroke, and close on the up, then use a roteryport timing disk, to open on the up cycle, closed on the down. think youll get it.
Youll need use a tiny turbo charger, and use fuel injection. with dialed in timings compression ratio, maybe lowered port height. (can also use more of the power from down stroke too!). Just a thought but think it would work.
Did you notice the twin exhaust duct cylinder with rotary exhaust valves at the end of the video...?
@@2STROKESTUFFING yep I wondered, you think out the box like myself, well done and keep going. 😊😊
@@2STROKESTUFFING just need a valve in the exhaust to keep boost presure
Before you add that sleeve, why not try a standard style piston and ring to see if the port will work with a standard piston. You can always go back to the three piece piston later. Would be cheaper and quicker, just a thought. Love your videos!! Good luck..
That supercharger idea is very interesting i cant wait to see that!
One of my big issues has been wristpin circlips popping and that piston helps here too.
