100% It is hard to believe sometimes that this engine is 40+ years old. It may have not have the biggest Hp (compared to engines today) but, you can see the quality built into the engine. - Would be interesting to put a bigger/better carb on it and see how she does.... LoL one step at a time - As always, thanks for watchn' Thom 🔥💪
Don’t confuse shields and seals. The seals on the front ceramic bearing can both be left on. They seal the engine and keep the grease in and dirt out. The metal “seal” is the shield. Remove the shields for inside the engine, but some manufacturers recommend leaving one shield on for maximum oil flow. Shields dont stop oil leaking out or passing through the engine. Seals keep grease in, and dirt out.
Hi Christopher. Thanks for taking the time to write. - Most of the time, we all use either the term, shield and/or seal interchangeably yet, you are right, they technically are different. The main difference as you know, is that most all “seal” style bearings make contact with the cage/balls. I do agree that the front inner ceramic bearing seal, “could” be left on (some manufactures do the same), I prefer to take it out. That way it has a chance to be lubed from with in but, mainly to have one less rotational contact point. - The front seal doesn’t need to be left for function but, it is important to keep it on to help keep debris out (as you mentioned). For the rear bearings, I prefer to take both out I very much appreciate you watchn’ 🩷 and it’s great to know there other awesome glow engine builders out there 💯
Oh WoW‼️ I’m glad to be able to share something like that with you then. - This Enya 40+ year old engine is a great example of that times technology but, also how our current tech has developed from it. - If you haven’t already, feel free to check out a legend of an engine series/professional racer/engine modifier, Lamberto Collari (LC). - Below is a link to the Engine Overview I did on one of his LC engines. It also is an AAC construction engine. ua-cam.com/video/_Mpw18KDFrg/v-deo.htmlsi=PotxXuHL_nFDg4c3 Thanks for Watchn’ 🩷
It seems like a lot of these truly vintage engines (especially the sleeves) were extremely well designed. As years went on a lot of other components were better developed (carbs, heads, cranks and rods, etc) but, lost design and performance in the sleeve with mass produced engines. - These days, you need true race engines to see crazy sleeve design and modifications. That’s why this 40+ year older 11CX is so interesting. Thanks for watchn’ David 💜
@@MikeG4936 Yeah I would think it would be a much different block size. - Keep an eye out for the Upcoming 11CX vid. You will see a raw start up, Test stand Tuning and more
Ooooo i love the history of these engines. You can see where the "standard" class sizes all came from looking back at engines like these.

Really enjoyed walking up and watching that👍
Thanks for watchn’ 😃. It was a fun one to make.
- These vintage engines always have surprises
Finally. I've heard of AAC, but I've never seen it or even knew of an engine that was. I like the integrated head shim as well. Very cool engine!

Running Vid coming out soon ‼️
@@a2rc I have the Enya 21 CX - I think it's a different block size than the 11.
@@MikeG4936 Yeah I would think it would be a much different block size.

Nice!! I have the 11cxd ultra d for diesel never been run aero version. Great vid.
That pretty awesome! That would be a fun engine to see and run in person.
- Thanks for letting us know you have one and for watchn’ 💜
