BSA Bush to bearing conversion #11 Timing cover
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Timing cover modifications to get the oil feed a little closer to where the crank end is. As usual, I start off on a slightly wrong path and have to backtrack a little, but I have included it all so you can follow my thought pattern.
This was filmed over the last couple of weeks so there may appear to be some duplication and continuity issues, I have tried to edit into something that "flows". It is always a little difficult recording over a long period, you forget what you have done, and despite reviewing the footage sometimes sync errors occur, with me anyway!
Thanks to all those following this longer series, I am getting closer to the end of the original bearing and end feed conversion part of this build. I will continue with this engine however, looking at crank repairs and modifications and I have a very in depth look at the oil pump planned with what I hope will be interesting tests, research and improvements to the unit.
Regards and thanks,

awesome, I could have done with your skills years ago. B.S.A.s in bits with things wrong we could never fix, but you could..
Years ago there were repairs I thought impossible and scrapped bikes because of it 😕
@@AGEngineering another case of "if i knew then what i know now......." pwrhaps?
I fully agree with Mr. Carl Wilson in his comment below!
Many thanks
A very interesting 20 minutes Ade. Your breaking new ground here and I'm looking forward to the next installment already.
It's getting a bit headscratchy at the moment, thanks for the support
It's nice to know that I am not the only one who has to do "remedial" work. Well thought out Ade.
I'm doing some real head scratching at the moment along with multiple iterations of the next stage, going to get interesting. Cheers for the support Michael.
Fascinating to watch as usual Ade. Some real innovation in the way you are tackling the conversion. Thanks for taking the time to share it with us. Best wishes, Dean in Oxfordshire.
I've been working on it today, evolving fast.
A clever bit of engineering their old timmer,, 1.7K you're doing something right, big thumbs up from me.
Cheers Rob
Hi Ade, another excellent Video! Many thanks for that. Big thumbs up!
Thanks for watching 👍
This is really excellent stuff. Your videos aren't just lectures in technique, they are also masterclasses in engineering design and problem solving. I had to watch this one three times to fully grasp all the information you imparted, such was the density. The idea of having the banjo bolt to a bridging block across to the crank oil feed hole is innovative. I'm assuming you'll have some sort of dowel from the block that runs inside the crank end hole, sealed with a running circumferential o ring? On that subject, do you think the dowel between the two halves of the crankcase would need circumferential o rings too? I'm thinking maybe not as my brother tells me the pressure is only a few psi. I'm used to seeing similar dowels transferring oil in hydraulic systems where several thousand psi are involved. Such dowels are called "bobbins".
I liked the way you used the washer to effect the offset alignment of the one hole to the other. I was wondering about the M8 banjo bolt, was there a reason you used a bought one instead of turning one? A turned one could be made with a non standard head to get a smaller footprint, for example. Just a thought.
I'm now really looking forward to the next part to see how this progresses. Thanks for investing the time and effort to painstakingly film and explain everything you do. And thank you for the name check! It's the second one I've had from you tube this week!
You're getting on my wavelength here! The timing cover has a gasket yet to seal the joint, oil pressure is about 50-60 psi, I'll be testing this. Already looked at tweaking the banjo bolt, crank feed tube will have a proper lipped seal but room is very tight. Last clue: I have a furnace for metal casting that has never been seen.. yet😉
@@AGEngineering I'm glad I'm getting on your wavelength. That's praise indeed. Thank you. I look forward to further developments.
Fantastic work Ade. I'm looking forward to more episodes and am in the process of acquiring a mill so I can also carve chunks out of crankcases and make parts. Best wishes, Charles
Thanks for the support. I've got more footage of the progress but the laptop went wrong so I had to reload it, lost Windows movie maker and couldn't get to the video projects. I've got Sony Vegas video editor on the way, should get back on track soon. All the best, Ade
@@AGEngineering Thanks for your reply. I'm amazed at the lengths that you go to, to record your activities and edit the content. During the lock-down our Northumbrian VMCC section has been doing zoom meetings and a few of us have been showing PowerPoint presentations of what we've been up to in our workshops. It is apparent that it takes a lot of time, skill and effort to produce good quality videos. Keep up the good work. Cheers , Charles
Thanks for taking the time to comment Charles
nice one Ade! clever offset Hole, thanks for sharing
It should make any future ones easier
Very clever and a great idea.
I am progressing with this, not had chance to edit the video yet unfortunately. Thanks for viewing
Great video again
Thanks for watching
Nice one Ade.
Many thanks for your support
