I hope it had ZDDP aswell

I have droped the sump and scooped all the thick black shit out, I have an oil filter on this car but its not a full flow filter, it just bleeds off a very small amount of oil and that goes thrugh the filter and back to the sump. Would B&S oil be ok to use in a car? its a side vlave v8

Where would one obtain a non detergent monograde engine oil now days for old sidevalve engines in cars that have have no oil filtration systems, and have a sludge build up? someone recommended briggs and stratton oil but I think thats more for air coold lawnmoer motors,

Yes, I like rust repairs, I find it interesting,

casting party

I am going to cranck things up a few degrees, I have a big silicon carbide crucible, it was quit expensive, I am going to try doing some cast iron, started bulding an oil burner, only problem I need $300+ worth of refractory cement

With those borgwarner (tin hat) diffs you can tell at a glance if its an LSD by it having a rubber plug in the hat rather than a hex plug I am told Just some useless info

.

I have 4-2-1 headers on my car, not saying they don't exist, I was talking about having a collector in front of the motor and long 2ndry pipes like a TRY-Y type on a inline 4 motorcycle motor

In all my time in being a motorcycle mechanic have I never come across a 4 cylinder bike with Try Y headers, some bikes have a 4 into 2 with a cross over pipe or a collector but if you want to make them faster you fit a 4 into 1 system There is a caluactor on the net some where for working out primary pipe size and length and 2ndry pipe size

Didn't the Royal have fancy stuff like AC?

I am still yet to make it to one of the OS meets

Is your uncle terry stringer?

Depends if you have a patten witch is a very complex and very expensive thing, the casting isn't expensive. Friend of mine got Masport to cast some reproduction cylinder barrels for a motorcycle, was $150 to cast but over $20,000 for the patten

The green sad was from trade me but you can get it from http://www.metcast.com/ my aluminum was just scrap but I wouldn't recommend this as its cheep enough to buy the proper shit new Red sand is the stuff anyone doing sand casting at home should look into, you can re use it if you pick off the burnt bits I have some its easy to use, green sand you have to put water with it and its crumbly, I have 3 buckets of the stuff.

I see, just looked it up on youtube, Do they have any programs for making molds for casting car parts?

My friend got a 3d printer kit for $800, Haven't seen it yet, is a 3d printer like a cnc mill?

Here I am poring silicon bronze for some of my sculptures, the molded are dull red when i take them out of the kiln

I would NEVER pore into a cold or damp mold, it will explode, I nearly lost my ear

I am doing it the old way they have been doing for 4000 years, there is a new way using molochite and sodium silicate to make the fire proof mold witch can be burnt out with a big LPG burner, its called ceramic shell casting, I have tried it but it was hard to get it to work. If your making solid brackets you could use casting sand, I have dutch oil sand witch is very easy to use, or NZ green sand witch is a cunt to use but its cheep. http://www.metcast.com/ They sell all the sands and refractory stuff, crucibles are cheep, around $30 for my 8 KG #A8, furnace has cast refractory cement witch is expensive or you could use Kawool, all my hand tools and burner etc I have made.

I recommend this website for ideas http://backyardmetalcasting.com/

yes the shrinkage was about 3% it shrank about 3 mm, the places it mattered i built up with wax, I am doing my molds lostwax style, it has a core. some times I have to use rods to support the core. I have to fire the molds in a 44gal drum lined with kawool for about 5 days at 800 degrees c, witch uses nealy a full 45 KG LPG cylinder.

it would have to be the oil from the Chinese takeaway or diesel. Babbitt burner? it would be made from steel and refractory cement

Yes its a piece of angle iron I made an ingot mold out of, I hold it over the flame to pre heat it, or it will spit the motlen metal in your face. Been doing alot of bronze casting but want to do some cast iron, my home made naturally aspirated burner just isn't hot enough, going to make an oil burner.

thats me pouring the manifolds
