This is part ten of my engine build, in this episode I widen the lower cylinder and head and drill the main oil passage ways. The goal is to create a running V-Twin Lifan engine, inspired by Allen millyard's ss100 V-Twin builds. I want to use as many standard parts as possible to make the build as easy as possible and reduce the number of parts I need to make.

Yeah Rotary SMP sent us. 😀
THANK YOU REGARDS RICHARD.
Nice progress. Can you race it in a class like "bucket racing" when it is finished, or is that too much power for the class?
It can be raced in the f4 class where pretty much anything goes. 150cc 4 stroke, 125 Air cooled two stroke and 100cc water cooled two stroke.
Bikes typically have between 10-25hp so I think this might be out gunned, I’ll probably end up with maybe 12-13hp. So only time will tell.
@@OddsandEndsMachining When I left the RNZAF, I sold my shit box MZ 250 to a guy there. I think he was the Bucket racing world champion at the time :)
Love this 'Just make it work' type of attitude..... I remember very many years back to my early teens trying to convert a 100cc Honda to diesel for some reason! BTW: SMP pointed me here....

This is beautiful work. Rotarysmp guy sent me.
Great job 👍👍😎👍👍
Just watched all your videos. Super cool that you are doing this yourself. Cant wait for the next installment!
nice work your giving ol Allan a run for the money
I’ll take that as compliment, but I’ll have to get mine running first and see if the reliability is on par.
@@OddsandEndsMachining and if it works great if it don't make it over . like edison would say i can tell you 999 ways it won't work. none of us has ever made any thing that as we are going along we wish we would have done it another way . but you have to start somewhere . so don't think about it to much or you will think of all the ways it can go wrong . just get on with it . and keep up the good work.
Howdy mate, interesting project and videos. One tip I've picked up from watching other content creators: people will tolerate so-so video, iffy lighting isn't even a big deal, but bad audio will make people click away. For the most part your audio is actually really good, but you'd benefit a lot from some volume leveling (some parts too loud, some too soft) and a lapel mic (doesn't need to be anything fancy, the compression by the time it gets to our ears is so much that differences in a great vs good mic will be lost). Hope this helps you make even more great videos in the future. All the best!
Cheers for the feedback, I’ll pay particular attention to this on the next instalment and try to improve the volume levelling.
You are ripping along with this project! Glad I'm not the only one that tends to eyeball the really non-critical stuff on my own projects, plenty of well known YT machinists would have spent ages with a dial gauge getting that casting level to within a few microns just to drill the oil transfer hole. Perfect is the enemy of good enough as they say.
Great work again. Looking forward to the next part already 😃
could you give some background on why are you doing this?, from what I saw in previous videos seems that there where old cases that where fractured, but why are you making the casings for an engine?, are they not possible to get anymore?, or just because you can?, what modifications you plan to do vs the original parts?. again quite amazing and thanks for sharing :O
For the most part because I love learning new skills. I’m also doing this because the cases I want can’t be bought, the engine originally came out with one cylinder. I decided I wanted to add a second one and make the same single cylinder engine a V-twin.
I want to use all original parts where possible.
@@OddsandEndsMachining This is really really cool!, many thanks for sharing again! :bow:
What’s the name of your milking machine?
The milling machine is an Optimum Mh-28V
Hi just found you via rotory SMP. I'm on an opposite path to you. I'm making a single from a twin. Bit higher pedigree though. I'm making a Ducati supermono. They have a rockerbox attached to the rear cylinder base that acts as a balancer. Check out my FB group. Would you recommend me doing a RUclips channel on my work? I only have a lathe no mill though.
I’m familiar with the design and how it’s balanced. That’s a cool project. Only if you have an abundance of spare time as filming and editing the video takes as long as doing the actual work or even longer haha (I do not have this time I speak of). The mill is definitely nice to have if you want to make anything that’s not round or face large things without using a face plate and some creative work holding.
@@OddsandEndsMachining I have toyed with the idea of fitting an angle plate and vice on my old Hardinge lathe to do milling but it's mot ideal really. I just don't have the room for a mill in my garage, can't swing a cat in there. I have made two mono rockerbox prototypes but I had to ship out all the machining work. I also do all the composites on the bike as it uses a lot of carbon fibre parts. There is quite a community of mono makers now. The ST4 is a good cheap donor bike for the project. I really should film the progress I'm making but I'm rubbish at editing and doubt my computer could cope. 🙃
@@chrislee7817 I didn’t even release my first edits, they turned out nothing like I imagined haha. they were shocking. You can always start with taking photos and a few small snips of clip and doing a voice over when you get time. As long as you’re informative when showing images people will listen. It’s sounds like you’re going to be looking for a friend with some machining equipment or looking for more shed space.
