Weaver Model Engine Build Series Part 3, Cylinder

Patreon - / jellyfishmachine
In this third video on the weaver model engine build we go through making the cylinder and do a little bit of silver soldering. the cylinder has many individual operations and is probably tied with the crankcase for most complex part on this engine. Stay tuned for the rest of the build series, where we will amke the rest of the engine and once it's running, build a remote control airplane to fly it on!

So the crank has no bearings ? And its just the close tolerance that forms a seal between the crank and the case ?

[@JellyFishMachine]

Yes, no bearings for the crank, it runs right in the aluminum case. the seal is from the high amounts of castor oil in the fuel, filling the small gap between the crank and crankcase.

@@JellyFishMachine Okay that makes sense. I made a 2 stroke engine too, very crude, but it ran a few seconds. Enjoyed your series.
