Two steps forward and one step back. That's how it always goes in research and development. I've been working in the field for 10 years now, and we're still reinventing the wheel on a regular basis. Don't worry about repeating so many small and big mistakes. All other highly-paid engineers do it too. It's nice to see that you're obviously mentally feeling uphill again! Best wishes from germany!

So glad everything came together so you can continue the good work. This is one of my few channels I really look forward to the next video in the series. Its just relaxing watching you work on and troubleshoot this motor. I must say I do miss the jazz music in the background.

Cant wait for some dyno numbers.. keep up the good work! 💪🤜

[@jayslife775]

The problem is how inaccurate his dyno is... its easerly +/- 50% which isn't good at any power level

My inertia dyno should be accurate enough.

@@2STROKESTUFFINGyour inertia dyno is as accurate as any other dyno keep it up man I think a lot of these people haven’t gone back and seen your spx build that thing made some ponies

[@ralphbooger4756]

isnt it more important from any dyno that it shows how the hp/torque improves by the various changes done between each run, rather than show the exact hp/torque? as i understand it many dynos will give different results and some brands are even known to show higher numbers than others... is it even possible to find the exact numbers?, dont we get a comparable result at best?

CONGRATS ON YOUR DONUT HORSEPOWER VIDEO REFERENCE!!

[@DaveFromColorado]

It was awesome to see it start, and start so incredibly easily to... I am very excited to see the next video on Friday, and what kind of power the engine will make now.

[@gruberstein]

The original Norton Manx engines had the problem with crank flex wearing out the bearings and even cracking the cases at high revs, they changed to bearings that allowed the misalignment of the crank when flexed. The races had a spherical element to them but the balls remained in contact even with the inner race being skewed out of alignment. You could probably find something similar for your bearings. Something similar was used on Chevy Corvair rear wheel bearings to allow the half axles to move within the bearing and keep the trailing arm from flexing along with the half axle angle.

[@frandiminic3559]

SKF makes them they are called Carb bearings

[@Just_D.I.Y.]

Just a FYI, I saw a video a long time ago of a guy rebuilding an engine on a light plane/ultraglide, when assembling the cases they apply the gasket goo and add a single strand of thread around the circumference, I don't recall the type, but it stops the cases getting squeezed too tight together squeezing all the gasket material out. I'll see if I can find it. Good luck with your project.

[@Just_D.I.Y.]

[@seabeepirate]

I’ve heard Jacob’s chucks have hardened jaws which do not grip carbide or hardened materials like they do with relatively soft drill shanks. Thanks for sharing your progress with us!

[@paradiselost9946]

line contact, and they arent accurate. collets grip from 90% of the OD. and should be accurate. concentric...

[@david929190]

Great to see it start up with the fresh engine and all the things that now make it sing

[@watahyahknow]

putting the gasket between the carter and cover of the rotary valve increases the gap of the rotary valveplate in its seat as it moves the cover away from the motor you could lay a sliver of gasket material inside the groove of the o ring and lay the o ring on top of it , should raise the o ring out of the groove some

[@fredmitchel1236]

Good job Alex... Maybe a shim can be placed in the O-ring groove...so it pushes out the O-ring farther, increases the squish and seals the cover...also perhaps create a hollow cylindrical collar...that ensures the crank is concentric to the seal O.D.... Its great to see it fire right up after all the new goodies were installed.. 😮

[@leeboy8689]

That engine sounds really good it has a deep rumble to it

[@crautoguy8384]

A lot of times With a spring-loaded lip seal You can take the Spring out it screws into itself remove a couple of coils Carefully with a small cut off wheel thread it back into itself to tighten the fit I've had to do this in my automotive career Where the old seal had Worn a deep groove into the rotating part and would not seal up with a standard new seal tightening up the lip fix the problem Might help your situation Also slightly Oversizing bolt holes Installing the seal and the Center Seal surface before Tightening down bolts will self center itself Just like installing an General motors LS style timing cover install the dampener in the seal before you Tighten the bolts on the timing cover should center itself

[@arzemagic]

See a tiny bit of space on the table you could fit some more stuff there . I was always told to do the Horning vertically because of gravity

[@jplouesse3618]

hello always a pleasure to look at you for your joint problem some turn of teflon tape the same that we use in heating insert in the groove of the joint then put the joint back and this can help to increase the thickness for a better tightening in addition the teflon resists heat well. good continuation towards a success of which I have no doubt. best regards jp

[@turkeyboyjh1]

Who’s ready to see some powerrrr, man I’ve been watching this channel since the nitro spx for all the haters out there this guy knows what he’s doing and knows how to make power on a conventional 50cc the issue here is this isn’t a conventional 50cc this is in theory the highest flowing 50cc ever made, the exhaust power has more area than most 125cc when the tuning and reliability is figured out this thing will be a monster at 10-14,000 rpms

[@quirkyMakes]

I'm thinking back to your first videos and I have to say you've come a long way. Well Done.

[@thedarkknight1971]

Alex, I take it you didn't see my previous posts on your last two videos about how you re-engineered the Rotary valve and the carb side of the Rotary valve casing to be perfectly smooth, but yet left the engine side of the Rotary valve casing with circled grooves in it. Again, as you (and anyone) will know, take two perfectly flat surfaces, and place some oil between them, they will slide oooohhh so easily (having grooves would only hamper that)... So... Just as a suggestion?🤔 Maybe take the time to re-engineer and flatten that motor side casing so it too is ultra flat? It might help with reducing friction/wear of the Rotary valve itself and possibly help the action of the Rotary valve too... What say you? 🤔😏 But... Anyways... Except from temporarily losing the small end bearing, and temporarily forgetting to seal the casings up (it's those silly little things isn't it? Haha)... It's great to see you getting back to progress after the 'Arm & Hammer Charcoal Toothpaste Incident' 😉😛🤣🤣🤣 🤞 for a speedy recovery to massive power gains! 👍 😎🇬🇧

[@lesmaybury793]

[@stephenfrancisvoros382]

With the rotory valve cover, it might pay to drill and tap extra bolt's in between what you have there. Those bearings must of been putting a lot of labour on the motor filled with black death. The oil lines in crank case was a good idea Alex 👍😬

[@brahmdempers1005]

Heres a tip with o rings that doesnt seal or is a bit to thin. Before putting the o ring in its groove ,put some sealant in the groove, then install the o ring. Wipe the exes sealant off then lightly instal the part so that the o ring is sitting evenly all round. Then remove the part so that the sealant can dry. Now re install the part and u good to go.

You should consider getting a digital torque wrench, or a bar type, as the clicky kind have a tendency to overtorque, and aren't as accurate in the first place. May not matter much but who knows.

[@glennfreddietom]

Avoid tappning your shaft with a hammer during assembly (rotary valve end) and your ball bearing will last longer😉

[@2STROKESTUFFING]

True, hopefully those light taps weren't too harmful.

[@AlienLivesMatter]

Malet or wooden hammer handle

[@ark-mark1]

Btw. Have you taken on account the air temperature? For best power the difference in air density and amount of molecules of oxygen in same amount of air in liters, is from 10 to 20 percent from 5 to 30 celsius and another factor is the humidity, so the higher percent is in low temperatures with lots of water vapour in the air. So foggy cold morning would best for high power readings and ofc garage door open at that time.

[@ark-mark1]

if you have 22 in your garage, the foggy cold morning could give up to 15% more power.

[@ziggyinta]

Love your vids and watching you learn along with us. Old school trick for stopping bearing movement, use a Dot punch on the case to make some small marks and that locks the bearing in place, saves locktight in the engine :) in saying that, is locktight bad in an engine? Might dissolve really fast anyways
