My homemade V8 engine gets watercooling part 20

[@kcraig51]

I'll be waiting!

[@mikaelmartin9288]

Supernice sound from that engine. Really looking forward to next video and the one of its kind lawn mower in action. 😊

[@1toonhead]

Dam that was running like a clock. Shame on the air leak and intake. Look forward to seeing your next video.

[@cheri758]

Furry!

[@1toonhead]

@@cheri758 Hehehe, yep bit hard to hide that one.

[@ThriceCalderon]

Smooth running engine very nice

[@Desmouffe]

At least for a while, but I'm on to it...

[@jonr473]

Absolutely amazing, will be waiting patiently for the next video 👍💪

[@joshruka4650]

Still coming along nicely. Have a good summer.

[@billwienands7298]

Iooking forward to see what the problem is 👍

[@aloberdorf4579]

Your approach to this whole project is flawless....Because your attitude is to build, test, diagnose, improve....then do it again. Success will be yours !!

[@Desmouffe]

That's what makes it interesing.

[@michaelboyle7668]

Genius of a man 😊😊😊

[@opieshomeshop]

The coolant expands as it gets hot. Thats why in cars there are radiator caps to hold the coolant under pressure. Your cooling system should not be open as it is. The expansion tank is supposed to hold a certain amount of coolant so when the pressure exceeds the rating on the cap, it will fill into the expansion tank, and after the engine cools it will draw the coolant back into the motor. Also, I'd drain the coolant out and put fresh coolant in without the stop leak. Stop leak is a fast way to ruin everything you have built. I was in a state of shock when I seen you pop that can. I know what your reasoning was but it was wrong reasoning. You should use a normal auto thermostat that has direct contact with the coolant. Using the set up you have isn't going to give you the correct coolant temps, your set up is going to run cooler because the adapter is going to run cooler.

[@Desmouffe]

I don't think my engine can stand to be under pressure. It will not hold water, and to put in a normal auto thermostat will lead to mayor changes on the heads. My system is based on MX and enduro motorcycles that works fine and my fan starts at 65 dgr C. It's true that the temperature will not be constant and close to boilingpoint but it's fine with me. This engine is just for fun and will not be used for anything.

[@derrickmenosky1869]

That's quite amazing and wonderful engineering.

[@rontaylor6407]

Have a nice summer! Thanks for the update. You are a true mechanical artist!

[@chrisprobert6]

Incredible achievement! Bravo Upgrades and repairs, to follow. After making wife happy 😂😂👍💪

[@fjs1111]

Impressive engineering!!

[@larrydavidson3402]

To bad about the problems. I know you will get them solved. Have a great summer, see you in the fall.

[@stephenyambor1422]

Love everything about these series, don’t change a thing!!

[@magnuscarlsson-jm8lo]

Grattis till att motorn gick så fint. Det har varit intressant och lärorikt att få följa dina projekt. Jag väntar gärna till hösten, det är det väl värt.

[@Desmouffe]

Kul att du gillar det. Kommer väl att jobba lite då och då även i sommar men videon kommer nog inte förrän augusti eller så.

[@sanderboergesen8086]

I really enjoy this project you are doing 😀

[@paulstatham8665]

Awesome job. Love your work, I have shared with many of my tradesmen friends. Waiting patiently for the next video and project. Have a great summer.

[@PrBruce1959]

It is deflating when the finish line moves ahead of you and other things a lined up! Stay the course. We have journeyed with you this far. A little more. We will be here waiting for you!

[@Desmouffe]

Yes, it's a bit frustrating when things don't turn out the way you expect. That's life...

[@lindaalexander7105]

Mr.Mekaniska you are a genius !

[@monepicyo7083]

fantastic. I'm looking forward to the return

[@thecorbies]

Congratulations on such a sweet running engine. You've just got to love a V8. Glad you've diagnosed 'air' in the system, but luckily for us, that means more videos from you. I hope you enjoy the summer. Regards Mark in the UK

[@Desmouffe]

Thank you. But it's hard to stay away from it. I have already started with a new intake manifold.

[@danielw.nasuta5499]

Fantastic video! What a cool project. Enjoy your time away from video making. Look forward to seeing the completion after summer.

[@marcw2604]

Im so glad you are powering some Wheels with that engine.

You are awesome man, can’t wait to see how you finish it out

[@daveb2wright]

I have really enjoyed watching your journey with the V8. Many thanks for showing your work to us.

[@Cloud_Shire_82]

See you there man, this has been a amazing proccess to follow since day 1

[@andersson.l.e]

It runs great. Shame about the leak in the cylinder. But then we will see one more video from you. Have a nice summer. We will be waiting for the next video. Thank you so much.

[@The3chordwonder]

The smile on your face was really great to see. Hopefully, just a head gasket leak. Enjoy your well-deserved break and I will be really excited to pick this up again in the Autumn.

[@Desmouffe]

Unfortunately I think the problem is worse. This cylinder was the first I made and I had big problems with pores. I thought I had fixed them all.

[@The3chordwonder]

@@Desmouffe Don't feel bad, Dodge had really bad porosity problems with the first few years of their ubiquitous 3.6L "pentastar" V6, which was put into just about every vehicle they sold. It was their first die cast engine block.

[@redwolfmotovlogsandstuff7302]

Can't wait to see what's next after you finish this up

[@carlgibson4588]

We're going to miss you Sir but have a wonderful summer. look forward to seeing your next video.

[@Desmouffe]

Summer is short in sweden

[@emdae921]

Absolutely massive pat on the back to you, you accomplished so much and I must thank you for sharing this seires with us. I absolutely love the way you implement idea to action and trouble shoot. Also unless you actually plan on using this during winter, I would use a 20% mix ratio on coolant. Glycol is thinner than water and will penetrate areas water wont. Just helps with leak preventative. I'm glad there will be more videos to come! One ask I have, in your next video can you show your findings? Even if its just photos of work, but would love to see more details. Top stuff, Id buy you a beer if I could!

[@Desmouffe]

Yes. That was a dilemma. Since I have cast iron sleeves and other parts that may rust I wanted good protection against corrosion. And a 50/50 mix raises the boilingpoint to ca 108 dgr C. But as you say it's bigger risk for leaks. And yes, I will try to give you full coverage of what's happend

[@mattyoung2880]

Love watching you work through this motor!!

[@donniewatson9120]

Good Ole Bars Leaks

[@TheDistur]

See you in the autumn!

[@Andrew_Fernie]

So, we will look forward to your return!

[@simonallan9941]

Add bars stop leak to an engine only once its up to operating temperature when running, (after thoroughly shaking the can), its the little bits that do the sealing when they melt.

[@Paulman50]

I have a great admiration for you, next autumn will have it sorted. I will surely miss your videos in the mean time. Have a good summer for you and your family.

[@Desmouffe]

Summer is short in sweden

[@marshallwilliams4054]

So disappointed that you had issues with this. Was very much much looking forward to it running well. Glad to hear that you’re not going to give up. Maybe you will consider a welded design for the intake? 😊

[@Desmouffe]

Yes. The intake manifold I used brazing because I hadn't bought my TIG at that time. And a MIG weld can be quite clumsy. But I only had my prophane gas burner tro heat the pieces and it wasn't enough. Now I will use sheet metal and my TIG.

[@Hydrogenblonde]

Great work. There are always some problems when making something like this. Auto mobile companies have hundreds of engineers and spend hundreds of millions developing new engines and the reason is it is not easy, it is hard.

[@Desmouffe]

Yes, and many times I want to start from the beginning again, but I don't have the energy or the money.

[@paulcost6446]

Apart from some minor issues it runs beautifully

[@metalworks2765]

nice work swede

[@Desmouffe]

Thank you

[@rockcrusher4636]

It's the pellets in the bars leak that do the job.

[@rossbryan6102]

A RATHER COOL LITTLE V-8!!! IN THE 1930s FORD CAME OUT WITH AN SMALLER FLATHEAD V-8 , WHICH WAS CALLED THE V-8 60 RATHER THAN THE STANDARD V-8 85! IN THE FULL SIZE FORDS OF THE DAYS IT HAD INADEQUATE POWER FOR THE JOB!! THIS ENGINE MAKES ME THINK OF THIS SMALLER FORD FLATHEAD!!

[@Desmouffe]

Yes, the old Ford flatheads are classic engines. Today I almost regret I went for the flatplane crankshaft instead of the crossplane. A crossplane crank gives a much nicer sound but the flatplane was easyer to balance.

[@greggc8088]

In my experience, K&W Block sealer works great for combustion leaking into the coolant system when following the procedure given by the company. I think sodium silicate works about the same.

[@Desmouffe]

Yes. It's the number one cylinder that I had problems with. A lot of pors in the casting and I must have missed one. And I hope sodium silicate will help me...

[@iknowyourebrokeauto468]

I wanted to cry when you dumped stop leak in it😢

[@IrenESorius]

👍‍‍🌟👍‍‍

[@Gocrybozo]

Maybe you can redesign a head gasket to fix the issue

[@Desmouffe]

The head gasket has nothing to do with the leakage. Water from the cylinders leads up in the heads by a nipple sealed with o-rings that works fine.

[@seeraf]

don't say "last video" i want to see new motors!

[@DustinKeating-yk3vq]

The spark plugs on top the head?

[@Desmouffe]

It's a flathead with the camshafts placed under the crankshaft

[@fleamine]

Have you experimented with different timing or cam mods? Maybe it would help, I dont know...

[@Desmouffe]

The ignition timing is somthing a experiment with a lot. The cams will give me tons of work to change.

[@troopergoodwin6530]

no video about the under floor heating?

[@Desmouffe]

Nope. Nothing interesting., Just hoses under the floor...

[@Desmouffe]

[@cjhickspe1399]

Aha. Needs a neutral safety switch.

[@brianbloom1799]

To get a regular temperature, you should be Driving it ,Those motors were designed for air cooled, What you did is a added benefit , I cant see how that's going to be a big deal. How hot is it Getting sitting in your Garage. I would Think as long as you Have good Oiling, know matter those motor are air cooled. temperature at cylinder head should be 250-270 and exhaust side 400 degrees, and That should Have gone up Being you have a Full cylinder head. Maybe 300 to 350 at Cylinder. what are your Temperatures. Just wondering.

[@Desmouffe]

I have only had it running for about 4-5 min and temp on the outside of the heads was about 70 dgr C. The exhaust gases that comes in to the system accumulates in the right cylinder head and there I have seen ca 150 dgr C. Air in the waterchamber in the cylinderhead disturbs the circulation.

[@Mr.Avuncular]

VOONDABAR!!!😁🏁

[@grntitan1]

It’s always a plus when there are no puddles on the floor. Seems to run quite nicely.
