  • Join Ivan and team as they take the 10L Hall Scott engine out of the 1914 Peugeot Indy 500 race car, and start the rebuild of the engine. This episode shows the initial start of the engine build, including the manufacture of new valve guides, machining the valve seat, and much more.

    My easy fix for the doom and gloom rubbish is no more mainstream TV, no radio. It's so good to have You tube channels like Ivans or Netflix docos, brilliant!

    My neighbour was an absolute wiz at most everything machining welding transmissions. He has passed on and we now struggle slowly through some projects he would have breezed through! I am glad I learned a small bit of what he knew.

    These blokes are awesome. It's great to see bearing scrapers and making gaskets from gasket paper. Brings back memories of my apprenticeship in the 1960's. Really enjoying this.

    A man who worked for my father, Paul Rydell, had a Hall Scott engine on a stand at his brother''s house in Midland Park, NJ and used it many years ago to power a racing hydroplane boat he raced on Greenwood Lake sixty or so years ago.

    A rocker system swings through an arc and has a rocking influence on the valve stem. That is one reason valve guides wear, a slipping washer sitting on the valve stem helps with this. That is one of the beauties of overhead cam with bucket shims. The buckets take the side loads off the valve and prolong guide and seat life.

    Really enjoy getting to see the inside of these older mechanical machines and how you fellas refurbish and improve them so they will last longer. A lot of mechanics and builders don't understand how much oil pressure is actually required; to much and it robs power, to little and it loses the hydraulic wedge and the engine fails. Thanks for showing this for all the world to see.

  • @steamwally
    @steamwally 3 роки тому +10

    Ah those valve retainers. I first came across those on a Merlin, great idea if a valve spring breaks but you've had enough of them by the time you've removed 48 of them! Enjoyed my time working with aero engines, as you say the time and effort that went into making them is just incredible, especially when you're looking at something that is over a hundred years old. As always, a pleasure watching you guys at work - always an education.

    • @thra5herxb12s
      @thra5herxb12s 3 роки тому +2

      The designers knew the limitations of the available metallurgy and took extra care to hand polish any possible stress risers, and radius any sharp edge that might absorb heat. This is why the engines look like works of art on the inside. Yes I love watching Ivan's builds, and look forward to hearing this running.

      I'm encouraged seeing a 90 year old fitter carrying on the trade in the traditional manner. I do basically the same type of work with like tools and equipment, but in a much larger commercial facility. I usually only work on cars and engines that are no older than myself at 76.
      edit: I have a few years yet to hit 90. God bless Ivan and team at Shed Racing on the other side of the pond and a Healthy and Prosperous New Year to all.

    My shops too cold this morning so I stayed in and watched this instead, but you guys looked like you were having so much fun I got all fired up to get back at the Rolls 20/25 that's in for an engine swap. You spoiled my lazy morning. Keep it up, eager for pt. 2

    I'm so happy to see somebody using modern technology to keep the old ways alive. It's really amazing to watch the type of careful hand work that you do to get everything just perfect. If I were a younger man I would be peering over your shoulder trying to learn everything you could teach me but now generations of younger men can watch you and learn. Thank you so much for sharing your skills and your sense of humor.

  • @FontedaPipaPortugueseFarmLife

    To check the angle for drilling out the valve guide, use a smaller reamer/drill to pull it down through the old guide without damage, with machine off, you will feel if it isnt square.
    As a;ways another very interesting show, thanks all!

    Absolutely fascinating. If anyone can rebuild a 1914 engine, it's Ivan! (Small point of order - if you're American, it's 'airplane', but for Brits, it's 'aeroplane'! Usually, when talking about engines for aircraft, the term is 'aero engines'.)

    That was very interesting and informative to watch. That oil seal that you made is very similar to what was used in the Willys engines. It's quite clever and they work quite well. There was a lot of amazing engineering used on those engines. I can't wait to hear it run.

    i well remember my folks driving down to family get togethers in Oakland and seeing the Hall Scott Motors illuminated sign on their tall long high building on the Oakland estuary, they made gasoline engines for all sorts of applications from Caterpillar tractors to city busses, one of my friend's father had a 6 cylinder aero engine at his shop in Napa and another had busses with flat engines, later I had a foreman in my apprentice shop who had been a boss at the factory, I assume that they had lots of labor problems there as he had a nervous breakdown from dealing with his workers there and migrated to calmer regions in our shop in Napa, I assume that HS did not adapt to Diesel engines and went out of business for that reason, they were still operating in the mid 1950s.

    Bit of perfection required on the valve seats I reckon. Might be awkward now though, if indeed there is anything left at it original angle.
    If you had set the head/barrel at the required angle in both planes and clocked of the valve guide OD, you could simply bore the valve guide out for a thin wall guide liner.
