Wright Cyclone had or maybe still has blue prints to build their 36 cylinder 4600 C.I.D. The engine almost got manufactured. If someone knows more about the Wright radial 1940's blue prints please let me know.
Thanks for posting , a truly beautiful sight ‘ Wish I was there !!!! Love how the senior gentleman told the younger fellow to leave the ‘ Rag’ On the 3rd engines crankshaft , and when started , it didn’t fly off !!! Definitely experience shows here , this gentleman has definitely history on these engines , A by - gone era, bless you all :)
I was in A an E school back in the 1970's. Our teachers were W.W. ll guys and they loved to start the old radial engines. We were into helicopters , which were starting to get used everywhere in the 1970's .
Pull plugs. Volume in cylinder head should be large enough to prevent hydraulic lock after draining or vacuuming. Valves will open up and allow remaining drainage and very smoky starts.
Don't knòw what ships they came off of but none have a turbo-supercharger allowing them to fly at 45,000ft. as the ones for KB50J in-flight refulers I worked with, in the AF in Mildenhall , England. The engine shop where I worked supplied 4360's for KB50s that refuled B-66s which made ELINT runs into Russian airspace. They came from a B-36 elimination project and there were at least 40 of them standing-by at any given time. I worked on the mobile engine test stand crew , post buildup.
No way in hell is idling those engines for 4 minutes getting them hot enough to hurt anything. They're called air cooled for a reaon. You can run a liquid cooled enging for quite some time without coolant before it gets hot enough to hurt anything. A bunch of fucktards in the comments watched this, ran and read something on wikipedia about these engines running hot and then ran here and posted bullshit. I bet not one of said posters has ever turned a wrench or lifted a screwdriver. I also bet they don't know one simple fact about internal combustion engines. I'd put $1,000 bet out there that not one of them has ever even changed theiir own oil. Go back to your IT jobs you dumb cocksuckers.
Mucaro, well said. Until a person lays a wrench on, operates as a flight engineer, pilot, or the the real boss-the crew chief- kneel before them. Radial engines built the aviation industry, fought wars, and brought relief to refugees long before the "J" series jet engines. Jets are for kids.
Those babies would be worth a butt load of money today. Even more if someone had a plane they were restoring that took these monsters. They look like they're in nasty condition but DAMN I've never seen a radial start that easily and all four popped to life right off.

The sound of the B-36
80 year old technology that was all created without a single microchip.
These are air cooled engines. Not a single propeller mounted. What is cooling these? steve

The tree huggers didn’t sniff these massive incredible engines out and protest!?
Awesome

Some narrow minded peace freaks simply would not be able to appreciate the beauty of seeing a bunch of motors, on trailers, just running.
That's a lot of money sitting there.
Olha cara os mecanicu fazen bastante manitencao neses motores de pase gue mas parese uma maguina industreal show 💥💥
So Cool! I want one.
Why would ever run an engine with out a fly wheel
Huh??
The 4360 Wasp Major was one of the most if not the best sounding radial engine of WW2
Wasn't ready for WWII
When Lyle Shelton owned "Rare Bear" didn't he shoe horn one of these onto her?
This should be a huge hit for the tree huggers but we do not care!

That is the sort of sound one will probably rarely if ever hear again if they hear it once in their lives....
I’m sure that was a remarkable sound to hear in person. Not exactly what ya hear on the farm everyday.
Man that is so awesome music !
Don't you have to pull the prop through 10 or 12 blades to prevent a hydraulic lock on the lower cylinders. How do you do that with no prop???
Pull plugs. Volume in cylinder head should be large enough to prevent hydraulic lock after draining or vacuuming. Valves will open up and allow remaining drainage and very smoky starts.
The electric starters were clutched, and would slip also if the engine was hydroed
Impressive!!!👍🙂

Early C-119s. Probably R-4360-20s.
Thanks horn player was gonna say something!!!
Super stealth aircraft test article,waiting for the super stealth engines.Basic airworthiness test with these old corncobs!
I wouldn’t jump in that plane. Surely it isn’t running right. Lol
Those are the unleashed beasts!
videos like this is what I love about UA-cam.
WHY are you running these engines without at the least a test prop???!!! dummy.
Wow ! Want !!
That rag spinning on the engine no. 3 output shaft looks like a pizza dough :)
Well, shoot...

Whao👍👍
Just a few moving parts.....
Sweet!!!! I love those round engines!!!!
I think at 1:57 I heard the VVTi kick in, either that or it was one of the 56 spark plugs fouling, JK. Why cant I have neighbors like this?
"Cough,Cough" WHY?? To destroy them ?
running such engine without a cooling propeller is realy tupid...
they do keep the bugs down. amazing at what can be done with a lot of thought and a slide rule
Wow, I wonder if that will ever happen again?
3rd engine has some oil leak issues.....
Unbelievable! You can feel the power even on this tiny computer!
No prop or club? Crew chief would have sent 'em back to the motor pool.

"Jets are for kids" - could have been my words... a real plane needs a piston engine and a prop! Jets are sooooo boring... they don't "live"!
Find two more and you could get a B-36 off the ground!
Need the turbines also for those short runways.
Those babies would be worth a butt load of money today. Even more if someone had a plane they were restoring that took these monsters. They look like they're in nasty condition but DAMN I've never seen a radial start that easily and all four popped to life right off.
talon55130 in good condition these babies have a good habit of actually starting with little fiddling involved
cool , just need to find a C97 to fit on it now

I'm envious!
Where would someone find one of these engines for sale?
South American scrapyards?
Rose White. I’m not asking for a country...... asking more for a company name or contact number.
Have you heard of Google!
