Well, I fired this beauty up very briefly during lunch. She RUNS! I did not video, no tach. I just wanted to see if she would fire up and she did. Hopefully the rest of you will see her run a bit later. Until then.....
Well done, Dave. The heat vs. cold technique is a die makes trick to set dowel/guide pins. If you need more clearance, chill shaft with ice, or even dry ice. Let assembly sit well long enough for all temps to stabilize. Used to set pins with a four thousandth interference fit. They never come back out once in position. Crank clearances aren't as tight but the technique will still give you assembly room if you bearing to shaft clearance is close. Such a sweet engine! Maybe someday I have one. Wayno in Ohio
The rebirth of probably the best glow engine ever made, when you have a chance to run it you'll be rewarded with a very sweet engine sound and an almost vibration free run, simply a sweet engine jewel, it's is so well designed, it can be started using 2 glow plugs in the front cyls, even a torqmaster 90 is more than enough turn it and once runing switch glowplugs to rear cyls, voila! It's alive!
great video, I would not know where to start, your knowledge of engines never ceases to amaze me, hope you bench run that big boy i guess that is why i watch your channel
Dave, in the disassembly video, you noted and showed a bolting boss on the engine back cover that was broken. Did you have to replace the back cover or did you find some work-around for that broken piece? Sorry, I went back to the disassembly video and realized it was the front cover, not the back cover. Same question though.
I have not done anything to that. There are no replacement front covers available. the small portion will have no impact on the security of the front cover or the operation of the engine.

While looking how it's done, gives you confidence to do it yourself. You have many engines on video and i like it a lot 😀🇳🇱

I was wondering about lighting all glow plugs. I do have 4 ni-starters now. I was not sure if it would like starting on only 2.
Start with 4 glowplugs, and once tuned in try with 2. It's just to show the well bahaved they are, can be started with half of cyls
I'll also be hand starting it.
@@dmrcflyr2 You can start it with one driver
Great assembly video of an awesome engine. Gonna check out the run now.
Great video series. I must say that after all that, it completely eliminated any desire I ever had to own one so saving me a bunch of $.
After having run this engine, I would like to have one.
Can't wait to hear it run.👍
Sweet engine. Great video.
Nice work David

It also helps a little to have the OS engines exploded parts breakdown book.
@@dmrcflyr2 dont sell yourself short you are good any one who is in the hobby can see that
Nice work
