I recently had an engine built by McMark (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) and I am now starting reassembly.

I figured that this was a good time to have some parts powder coated and hardware zinc plated.

They turned out pretty good so I thought that i would share, here is the result of a couple of pieces.

I would suggest you make sure the fan is balanced now that its all back together.

Looking very nice! If it runs as nice as it looks, and it should having McMark rebuild it, you are going to be one happy TEENER! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thanks for the tip on the fan balance. How is a good way to test the balance of the fan?

Is it a full rebuild? If so, you can get the whole rotating assembly balanced -- crank with gears, flywheel, pp, crank, fan. (I think that's everything.). Also a good idea to get your rods balanced end to end and matched to each other, as well as match the pistons. I think shooting for .5g between the heaviest and lightest is what you want.

Any competent machine shop can balance your stuff.

I am new to engine building but that's what I am having done to my parts...others with experience may chime in.

Looks bad to me.
Compressed when cold. Expanded when hot. That looks expanded.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) you shouldn't be able to slip much between those bellows when it is cold.

I made the mistake of taking a fan apart to blast and paint without noting the original orientation. The machine shop had to drill a half-dozen extra holes in the back side of the fan to balance it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Lesson learned - I'll ALWAYS stamp some markings on the fan and pulley prior to dis-assembly to assure properly balanced reassembly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Looks like the fan is heading to the local machine shop for a balance check.


Any Ideas where one can find a usable thermostat, they are pretty much NLA it seems.

If the shop says it's out and needs to be drilled, have them mark where the 'heavy' side is. Take it apart and reassemble with the small weight (on the inside of the front of the pulley lip) on the 'light' side and recheck the balance ... they may not have to drill it.

How close is adequate when it comes to balancing the fan?
