@@mileycyprus7210 Can damage/interact with other parts as it's a acid, and isn't guaranteed to get rid of just the aluminum. "Sodium Hydroxide" AKA Lye, has a chemical interaction with the aluminum to turn it into hydrogen gas, and is a strong base, making it less harmful to the other parts. I use it to remove the aluminum melted onto seized iron bores from 2 strokes. Where as using muriatic acid would destroy the iron.

​@anonymous you still should re-hone for best results/performance since the cylinder is still scuffed up, but, soaking it in water **heavily** saturated in lye will remove the aluminum entirely from **iron** cylinders. "mixed in water?!?!? wont that make it rust?!??!" you may ask- the lye also prevents rusting while it is submerge. You can, and I have, shoved new pistons in, without re-honing first, and they work, but you can tell it doesnt make as much power.

Rob, to remove aluminum from harder metals like cast iron, steel, chrome, etc., we used to use a strong caustic solution. It will eat away any aluminum contamination on other metals, but you have to be very careful of any surrounding aluminum because it will eat away at any aluminum it touches.

Be mindful to work quickly with it, more importantly, don’t apply it to the o-rings and let them sit and then go take a lunch half way through the build. It WILL cause the seals to swell - ask me how I know 🤦🏻‍♂️ Like most of the materials you put in your motors I’m sure you’ve done your research into it’s origins and intended uses. It’s definitely a solid addition to the assembly.

If glass doesn't sound like a pleasant assembly surface I think with your budget you can also buy surfaces specifically made to be extremely flat that are made of alternative materials.

Rob, where is the theoretical bottleneck in this engine with regards to hp; eventually would the e shaft tapers start to slip and take the keys with them? Or shear at a keyway first? Edit/Reply; I think it's interesting we have several well thought out opinions below, but no clear consensus. Rob we'd love for you to chime in! I am betting you have modeled all the internal components and know that the e shaft will hold 2khp (or have been assured it will by the original machinist). I am still wondering what fails first. The RPM vs Apex seal lifting is interesting, but as you stack rotors up to 6 lets say, I would bet that at a functional RPM the size limitations of the e shaft which cannot grow start to become an issue first. Also, it's not like he is gonna put this on an engine dyno to gently find the limits; he's gonna rev it to 6500 and 2 step the launch and he still doesn't have a slipper clutch. He'll stay in on the dyno up to 7k all wheel drive. If the clutch, driveshaft, trans and tires can hold 2k I would think the next thing in line is the e shaft.

I don't know much about rotarys other than what I learned from Daddy Dahm. It seems to me like apex seals are going to be an issue as indicated by the wear he polished out of the rotor housing in the beginning. I would think side seals would be the next weak point but once again, I don't know a ton about rotarys.
@evancourtney7746
@evancourtney7746 2 жыл бұрын
My money's on the apex seals lifting off the housing's surface just after crossing the area where the two peritrochoid 'lobes' meet. Passing that point the rotor apex is traveling tangential to the peritrochoid surface so there isn't really any centripetal force helping the apex seal maintain contact with the housing when the housing shape needs the the apex seal to reverse direction; ie. radially into then out-of the apex seal slot. A loss of sealing here will cause a drop in compression and limit power. Also, the speed at which the apex seal needs to change direction is a function of RPM so the loss of sealing is the limiting factor there; the limited RPM limits overall engine power.

With the side seals expanding with heat as all metals do, now much longer to they get? .025 clearence cold but do you know what that is at operating temperature? Just curious cuz that's when it matters..... Also could you use piano wire for your cooling seals. If the high hp want to spit the cases. Like with head gaskets with wire in them. Just a thought

good job, you just annihilated the surface dressing of the rotor.. The surface finish has been the hardest thing for plasma coaters to do, it is VERY specific.. and you just sanded it off, this is akin for honing a cylinder to a mirror polish, no hatching.

@@josephwhitley1963 there is a factory surface porosity, a 'dressing', that holds oil to keeps the housing face lubricated. Just as cross hatching on cylinder walls, but finer. Shops that started to plasma coat worn housings were going mental trying to reproduce the surface.. it's very specific. in both topography and application ( has it's own type of axial cross hatching. ) Rob , in hitting it with that flapper wheel, polished the surface, removing the 'dressing' the rotor housing surface will no longer hold oil making the housing and seal Mu or friction coefficient go up dramatically and that will increase heat, materials wear and degradation
