In this video I continue my efforts to make a light weight A series mini engine. there is a couple of hints in this video why I am doing this but all will be revealed in the next Bitza video
I have my suspicions, but I will wait. I still need to get my shop cleaned again. It's hard to do when a large car is in the way, and someone keeps making a mess!!!
A mad man once said "If you don't do it now it will always be another day" -Geoff The fabricator I am curious about what you think it will be. Guesses have been everything from a battery pack to a hamster cage
@@juscozcustoms My mind is telling me EV. If you are putting an electric motor inside the engine, it would be a small one. Also thinking this may be a mockup engine. Had a few other thoughts. Mid-engine, pit bike engine, LOL.
They are just Bordo brand holesaw's that I got on marketplace, but I believe the method I was using is why I was so successful at punching big holes in cast iron. Firstly I had the base of the drill press loose so it spins freely then had a block of timber on that so the piece I was drilling could move freely then when I start drilling the hole I hold onto the end of it piece and absorb any shocks of the holesaw cutting so it can't bite in. Now for the bit that seems totally wrong. I was not using any cutting fluid... It would generally cause a barrier between the holesaw and the work piece and it would stop cutting till it was gone again. I was using wd40 to keep it cool when needed but mostly I was just going in dry... Putting light pressure on the drill and letting it do its own thing at its own speed and it was going through happily. It was taking around 10-15 minutes for the 90mm holesaw to go through the 75mm thick cylinder head so it wasn't real fast but it got the job done. Hope this helps but also hope you don't need to do this yourself because it sucked and cast iron makes a much bigger mess than mild steel.
ooh excellent title. *YOINK hoping to have it out in less than 3 weeks but there is some other small jobs I want to tackle as well because I want to get back to weekly videos for next year so small jobs will happen
Yep, must be for batteries. Now the gearbox is gutted im thinking Hub motors x4?
Ooh 4 hub motors that sounds like fun.

Hollowed out to make room for the hamster wheel (and the hamsters). CONFIRMED!
well maybe the hamster food because the hamster's will be located in the mini's 10 inch wheels... IF that is the power source ;)
Looks like a mock engine to disguise an electric power plant.
Interesting guess.
I really want to know where to get a set of those hole saws
