    @andersjjensen 7 років тому +251

    You can get away with adding metal powder up to 1/3 of the volume of the epoxy. That both makes it stronger and better at dissipating heat. Cast it so i has fins like the original cylinder head, but taller to account for the worse material, and i think that thing would probably mow your lawn before it dies.

    • @WineScrounger
      @WineScrounger 6 років тому +17

    Actually surprised it ran at all. Not because of the jb weld, but because there was no ground for the spark plug. It just so happened that the gap between the plug washer and the head bolt washer was close enough for the spark to jump, can see it arcing while its running.

    • @ProjectFarm
      @ProjectFarm  7 років тому +67

      I was thinking, What if after you made the head you then coated it with a layer of a metallic substance to protect it from burns, like an aluminium foil barrier only a little thicker.

    • @kensmith5694
      @kensmith5694 7 років тому

      The bunk of the head needs to be kept cool so some fins are in order.
      If JB Weld sticks to aluminum foil, just the foil would be enough. The thing the foil would be doing is keeping the burning chemistry away from the epoxy. A thin layer would do that perfectly well. Thicker metal my pop off the surface as it heats up.

    In the Army we had a proprietary form of Epoxy with shreds of titanium in it for strength. We used it for repairs on the engines of tanks, APCs, trucks and just about anything else that required that the repair endure immense amounts of stress, such as a 427 blown Chrysler Hemi Diesel crank bearing housing in the back of the block. One enterprising young feller even made a barrel for an M-3 grease gun from it, and it did yeoman's duty for about 6 magazines. We decided that he'd proved his point and I personally destroyed it.

      I would run a ground wire to the plug next time. Your spark, while present, isn't good enough to get proper ignition. The engine had several moments where it was running rather rough. With a proper ground wire ran, this problem will go away.

    You did not provide an electrical contact between the spark plug's thread and the mass. So you can see sparks between the big washer and one of the head's bolt - some part of ignition power wasted there. Aluminum is a good conductor, JB Weld - not.

      Project Farm I seriously can't wait to see where you are a year from now. hopefully making money on UA-cam doing what you love!! if you aren't. ALSO, I know this would be a lot of videos and take a little bit of time but I read about top tier fuels being "better" for your engine as opposed to non top tier. because of this, I started using Shell Nitro 93 octane fuel. just curious if there is any truth behind that. I think it would make a good mini series!

    • @jusb1066
      @jusb1066 7 років тому

      hard to test fuels on a mower, they arnt fussy, the mower will run fine on 87 octane, so will most cars, 93 octane isnt needed on most cars at all. it wont do much for the engine, but sure shell might be using other additives that are better than another brand, more cleaners etc to prevent varnish, but that would take 10ks of miles and a control to know, certainly here in the UK supermarket fuels are always having issues with contamination but not so the major brands such as shell/esso etc

    • @DENicholsAutoBravado
      @DENicholsAutoBravado 7 років тому +1

      Jusb1066 I'm sure the 93 octane is aki and not the American used Ron index. 93 for him might be migrade in America.
      I still agree with your point though. Lawn mowers don't care enough. I noticed I get poorer gas mileage from Chevron. Less additives means going farther per tank. lol
      Shell has similar gas mileage to cheap gas. I'm more confident with Shell's research though.

    JB weld is pretty good stuff ! I had a 2000 E-150 with a coolant leak. Its a "dealer only" part in an extremely tight space(entire intake manifold off to fix correctly) that was leaking right where the part(just a threaded pipe) screws straight down into the block. I 1st tried RTV silicone, just glob'n it all around the base & spreading it with a fat wire bc fingers couldn't even really reach all around it. That lasted a few weeks. the 2nd time I tried an epoxy putty & that only lasted a few weeks. The 3rd time I used JB & its still holding after nearly a year.

    You are an extremely clever guy. I watched you very carefully how you did different tasks and you're totally professional. It's nice to know and also from the point of mechanical things, of course, we should always use them within the parameters for which they were designed. What you have shown is that amazing things can be done and motors can survive an awful lot. Most people I know, never change the engine oil in a mower. Just think how much hassle the engine has to deal with, with owners like that. You asked what kind of additive you should test since you are very sceptical about them. I'd like to see Ceramizer tested to see if it can really repair scores in bore or piston and to what extent can it do that say with a very old engine. How far can it really restore all the old wear damage, the light scoring and so forth?

Did you achieve that through those two adjacent metal O rings that sit on top of your homemade cylinder head, one of which sat around the spark plug? (BTW, is an O-ring the same as a washer?)

    • @GGigabiteM
      @GGigabiteM 9 місяців тому
