Haynes Build an internal combustion engine

Product: Haynes Internal Combustion Engine

Will do nicely while "working from home" later in the week...

Not much stock around but while out browsing, found a shop today with half a dozen.

Can't beat the real thing, i learned a wealth of information when stipping my old mi16, things like which way the con rod journals should face or things like the piston spray bars etc.

Im taking my time with the scooby, 90% i already know from previous cars it's the internal layout of the gearbox and engine that im slowly digesting.

This book here will teach you far more than your miniature engine will.

Amazon.co.uk: Four-stroke Performance Tuning: Books: A.Graham Bell

Engine's are relatively easy pulse tuning is where it gets complex.

Cool - you even put oil in it!



Chances of a flat four version next year...?

Wehave one in the loft, some of the bits were pretty badly made, might dig it out not the kids are older.

Might as well get them an old Pinto to play with !
