Re: Weiand-style head.

Here is the Weiand style prototype pattern with a second coat of Pattern lacquer. Material is ready to cut the first of 4 combustion chamber options for these heads. The 8:1 option will be my own...

Re: Weiand-style head.

And here is the Weiand style head pattern with a first coat of pattern lacquer. I think it came out fine.



This will serve nicely to make prototypes.

Re: Weiand-style head.

Update: I started CNC cutting the tooling for this Weiand head today. It will take a few days to finish the pattern since I have other customer tooling I am cutting as well. Right now I have 3...

Re: The Terry Burtz 5 main bearing engine blocks are back on track.

I think I have a thread on them somewhere. The first ones have already been put on engines. They are over 7:1. I will post them again in a new thread in order to not hijack this thread.

Re: Miller-style cylinder head

Pete,


These are for Model T only. I have other heads for Model A's but I am having trouble getting castings due to my core shop working almost 24 hours a day and my foundries are 8 months...

Re: Miller-style cylinder head

I will be making a few more prototypes soon, for additional testing and dyno, and then into production.

Re: Miller-style cylinder head

These heads will be iron, at first. I have not planned on selling gaskets with them.

Re: Miller-style cylinder head

It would appear I am in need of someone to test one of these heads and dyno it if possible.

Re: New Engine from Todd?

I do not have a website. I usually sell out of everything I make, even if I double the amount of castings I make. A website might tend to overwhelm my capacity. I post pictures on my Facebook page...

Re: Weiand-style head.

That would have been a Winfield head. I have been wanting to do this head for quite a while, but I have a lot going on all the time.


This one will use the same 7:1 crow foot chamber as the...

Re: Weiand-style head.

Yes,a stock distributor should work fine. There is more room around the distributor area on this than the Thomas heads, and the ribs are lower. I have several engines under way for test builds,...

Weiand-style head.

As I peck away at this Weiand-style head over the next few weeks/months I'd like to get a feel for how many castings I will need to order for the first run. Let me know if you are interested in a...

Re: Miller-style cylinder head

Taking the chamber out to that gasket would reduce compression ratio. The aim is to get 6.25:1.

Re: Miller-style cylinder head

Good news on the new cylinder head. Today the first sample was test run and things went well. It was run using a used gasket, so the next test is with a new gasket and then it will be dyno tested. ...
