Here are the camshafts. Coatings for more slippery 🙂
Sadly, at the moment they’re the only engine bits I have. Rest of the stuff is at Martelius’
The bearings thing.
I spoke with a friend about conrods in general and also about symmetrical conrods, when I realized what the “always turn the engine to normal rotation direction” means. I’ve thought it had something to do with piston rings but oh boy was I wrong. It’s about bearings.
See the little notch there? The bearings should have a tang that goes into that notch. If the engine is turned “backwards”, the bearings could dislocate and jump off the notch, maybe resulting spun bearings.
Fuck I’m an idiot! I havent ever realized this before 😀
Second peek to the intake! Still much to do.
