My homemade V8 engine gets watercooling part 17

[@K_Shea]

This is really an incredible feat, I admire your many skills and tenacity.

[@Desmouffe]

I'm glad you liked it and thanks for watching...

[@williamdejeffrio9701]

Even though I am unlikely to ever approach a job like this, I find it incredibly enlightening to see how a skilled craftsman approaches total fabrication of a complex project like this. Some of it appears to be "fabricate, fit, see if it works, if not, then dismantle, re-fabricate and try again". Incredible patience. Your editing greatly simplifies all the work you are actually doing. Impressive. Still avidly following...

[@Desmouffe]

Well, you have to do somthing when retired from work. Keeps the head busy and in order...

[@Paulman50]

This is one of the most exciting builds on utube, i can't wait to see the next episode. Your patience to get it right is very impressive.

[@Desmouffe]

Thank you

[@redwolfmotovlogsandstuff7302]

When the video ends I'm sad because I have to wait for the next part. Thank you for sharing this with us and including us in your journey

I'm glad you like them.

The most anticipated build on KZbin in my opinion.. i can't wait to see the little tractor ripping again..

[@Desmouffe]

[@DigiLab360]

That front axel always bothered me. Glad you moved it. Looks great, and thank you for the great content.

[@Desmouffe]

Yes, I have been thinking of if for some time, convinced it was a very big job, but looking closer it was almost a quick fix.

[@blah666]

Thanks so much for sharing. I always look forward to your updates.

You're welcome

This looks so good:-) Will be really nice in some small runaboat. Cant wait to see and hear it run.

Yes, I'm starting to get nervous...

[@mattyoung2880]

I love this channel !! But can’t believe there isn’t more subscribers

[@The3chordwonder]

That is suck a cool looking engine, and it looks absolutely awesome on the mower. I can't wait to hear it start up. I bet you're glad to be done with the repetitive steps (fitting out the pistons, rods, valves, pushrods, etc. That gets boring by about the 3rd cylinder).

[@Desmouffe]

Yes, but the result gets better and better. So when I did the last cylinder I almost wanted to redo the first. But I stopped there...

[@Six4691]

Coming together well, looking forward to seeing it run again!

[@Desmouffe]

Me too...

[@michael-sherwood]

it looks soo good in the tractor with the front axle moved forward

[@Desmouffe]

Yes, it made a big difference

[@emdae921]

An idea for a water pump, i know you run a 12v system. And instead of the complicated mechanical water pump adoption, prehaps use a VW circulation pump, these are 16mm od outlets, 12v and small amps, they are designed to circulate coolant well. Prehaps a easy fit? Excellent work and progress, i really enjoy your logical thinking and excellent thought to practice ratio. My favourite garage builder, always enjoy your videos. Can not wait to hear this again, it will mark you victory and success in your thoughts!

[@Desmouffe]

I have ordered an electric waterpump and it's on its way. I hope it will be enough. There are so many things that can go wrong here. I'm just closing my eyes and trying to come out on the other side alive...

[@emdae921]

@@Desmouffe youll get there, problem solving is strong in your department. More so thermal operation, is more my thoughts. How to control temperature. But look forward to your next video!

[@Desmouffe]

@@emdae921 In a traditional car engine you have a thermostat that controls the flow. I'm going to have full flow all the time and control the fan. There was an electrical thermostat on the radiator but I have checked it and it activate at 90 - 95 dgreas C. So I'm going to change it to 60-70 dgr C.

[@teolynx3805]

​@@Desmouffeyou can control the pump too and it'll affect temperature. For example after a cold start the pump could be shut off until the engine warms up to make the process faster and by throttling the pump you can regulate engine temp when needed.

[@Desmouffe]

@@teolynx3805 Yes , there are many ways to do that. I will first try to have a working engine again. Then I can refine the cooling.
