I getting a new started as well with the new engine!

That's it for now until I go up North with the Troop maybe in the snow.....

Sheesh Tommy! 7 cu/ft per min! With an air tank you could literally be running tools off that unit!

I had an 8+cfm @ 100psi compressor on one of my rigs, it had no trouble running a 1/2” rattle gun.

I will bring up north once the new engine is ready for pre-test flow and swap to install

1HZ cold start tip:

Don’t glow first crank, let it crank 5-10x to build compression.

Glow normal but don’t start.

Glow again and start.

I have done this when it is -40*f and it works well.

Cheers

This is exciting. I'm also about to start cranking the FT engine. Probably start it before end of year.

I am pretty certain the engine go on the flow bench too but the swap will come after we receive massive amounts of snow and the drive to the shop is 600KM ….

Fuel pump installed, oil pan etc head to go on tomorrow

Got one cabinet almost completed with latch and drawers + sound detonating

I really like to black, gray match on this engine 1HZT

what did you use for structure on your cabinets? are they designed for someone to sit on? I'm an A&P and have experience with working with aluminum, have been trying to figure out how to build stuff like that with enough structural strength to sit/stand on.

Cabinet are all made from Aluminium and were design by @AmirTroopyNZ we made the base with aluminium to fix on the walls, floor. Assembly was rivet and I am tapping everything with M5 or M6 to bolt stuff
Yes can can sit on it, my dog will live there and we will have a space in the middle for sleeping too when super cold

Moment of truth

Engine started, was ruff on the low idle super strong on top. Timing was advanced for a smooth start and now this thing runs perfectly
Swap planing to be in Jan
