My homemade V8 engine gets watercooling part 21

[@carlgibson4588]

I have enjoyed every video Sir. Thank you so much for the honor and opportunity to be a part of your journey building your awesome B&S V8.🙂

[@Desmouffe]

Thank you, yes it has been fun

[@deanedeane4318]

That's not very fair !!! I was hoping you'd put the mow deck back on and shred some neighborhood lawns !!! - in style .....I hope you get into another project ! And thankyou from New Zealand 😉🙃😎

[@Desmouffe]

The cutting deck does not fit anymore but that would have been nice

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

First time YT has put this in my suggestions,... You sir, are a bone fide Mad Man, I LOVE IT! Please do put a cover over that flywheel - a artists hands needs to be protected!!

[@Desmouffe]

You may have a point there

[@blah666]

Your talent and perseverance is inspiring. Thank you for sharing your project with us.

[@Desmouffe]

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.

[@Youtubeforcedmetochangemyname]

It shows that just keeping at it and learning as you go pays off. Things go wrong and anyone that shows that in videos, are actually helping people. They see videos that edit it all the hurdles and fixes and think they should be able to do it with zero work.

[@cliffbarnhouse4913]

Got to love the sound of a V8. Thank you for sharing your project.

[@Desmouffe]

Thank you. It would have sounded better with a crossplane crank but it is what it is...

[@leop9021]

Please please please keep making videos. I enjoy your work very very much.

[@Desmouffe]

I must have something interesting to show and right now I don't have that. But we'll see...

[@kennynelson2269]

I bet it would sound unreal with an 8 to one exhaust.. especially with the firing order its running on.. you have single handedly built the coolest build on KZbin.. thanks for the videos man..

[@Desmouffe]

Yes, but I'm not very good at bending pipes so I went the easy way

[@HamburgerAmy]

that is an amazingly well balanced engine. ♥

[@Desmouffe]

A V8 engine with a flatplane crank is quite easy to balance

[@The3chordwonder]

very cool to see it running. I'm sure you took it out for more test runs, but it very much reminded me of Howard Hughes "Hercules" where he took the plane out for a ingle flight just to show it could fly! (This is a compliment as if you ask me Howard Hughes was a very intelligent person). Thank you for taking the time to spend with us, wish you the best with future projects and never be afraid to turn the camera on and let us see what your incredible talent is being used for!

[@Desmouffe]

I don't think the comparison is fare to Howard Hughes but thank you

[@aSpyIntheHaus]

I think i speak for everyone who's been following your video posts when I say. Your efforts are very admirable and that we look forward to any future updates.

[@Desmouffe]

Thanks for watching

[@MichianaFisherman]

I don’t know how you could resist a full speed sped up video of you flying past your driveway? Shirt blowing in the wind? Whatever you make, I will view!

[@mihkus]

That stock steering will get you killed... Going over 10mph on a mower is impossible without adding caster to the front axe, 5-7 degrees is enough

[@jesperahman738]

​@@mihkusI believe he did do just that when moving the front axle forward.

[@Desmouffe]

When I moved the front axle I gave it about 4 degrees caster but it's still a very exiting experiense.

[@mihkus]

@@Desmouffe I gave mine 7 degrees, relatively stable at 50mph, but still I woldnt try this on gravel since I have no brakes

[@Desmouffe]

@@mihkus Well, it's a worn out chassie with small cracks everywhere and if you weld them new cracks appear on the side. I changed all the plastic bushings for bronze in the steering and that helped, but there is a lot of backlash in the steering. It's adjustable but not enough. Maybe it's time to find a new home for the engine.

[@Six4691]

Your ingenuity and perseverance are perfectly matched with your engineering and raw talent. I enjoy your projects and appreciate you taking us along on each of your projects, I hope they continue! Love and respect to you and your family!

Yes, the chassie is wornout with a lot of backlash in steering and cracks everywhere , so we'll see what comes up

[@samulis8275]

Thank you sir. Like others said, this has been a joy to follow and everything great has to come to the end. You're standing tall on shoulder of a giant, not many have build V8 from scratch, Allen has got company in the club of the few choosen ones. You did something most of us just dream.

[@ngelemental2274]

A couple questions hopefully you’ll see!! First off I’m curious why you chose to go with a flat plane crank design? Unless you’re planning on revving this little guy to 6k rpm + I don’t see a lot of reasons? Unless it was far easier to engineer and machine a “simple” flat plane design vs a more complicated but smoother cross plane design. But to add to the conveniency of it being a flat plane , you could create nice exhaust headers with amazing scavenging!! Being as that is also a flat head design having some exhaust scavenging may prove very helpful for a smooth running engin as well as you may be choking the engine with having all 4 cylinders on each bank collecting down to 1 pipe of all the same diameter

[@Desmouffe]

When I started this build I knew very little about V8 engines. I just wanted to build an engine after my own head and see were I ended up. So I looked at a common straight 4 cyl crank and made the crankpins longer. Later I dicovered that the beautiful V8 sound comes from a crossplane crank. But it have it's advantages. It's easy to balance. As you wrote, it is possible to make an exhaust system that works well but unfortunately I'm not very good at working with pipes. The one I have is just because " I must have something". But it's a learning process. I'm getting there. Half way thru the build I wanted to make a new crossplane crankshaft but the material was expensive and it was a lot of work. Then I had to make two new camshafts as well. But, who knows what happens in the future...

[@ngelemental2274]

@@Desmouffe You say your not good with pipes but look what you've engineered so far!! For a flatplane design correct me if I'm wrong but I do believe for essentially perfect exhaust scavenging you would "just" have to make two 2 into 1 headers per bank, then eventually connect it down the middle and your lawn mower would sound like a Ferrari or the brand new corvette z06 my friend!!😂😂

[@Desmouffe]

@@ngelemental2274 You are so right. That's what I really wanted to do but I decided to keep it simple. At the time I did not know if the engine should be a flip or a flop. Maybe in the future...
