New Engines and stuff

[Guest ozzie]

 

Came across several new engines and a neat oil filter cooler by Airwolf.

 

A little V twin that was fitted to the front of a modern version of the Morgan 3 wheeler

 

A 56 kg diesel twin.

 

And an interesting axial piston engine from New Zealand that looks very compact.

I found a used PSRU to suit a S&S vtwin on ebay a couple of years ago, clicked through to the sellers other items and found he was also selling all the parts needed to build an engine less a rod and crankcase.

A diesel sidevalve?

The link to the diesel website is on the photo.

I think it also runs on Jet A

The 56kg engine in the pics is petrol not diesel

I saw several new types of engines there. a couple were multi fuel types. I have the brouchers coming over by mail in a box of goodies.

 

I don't think these guys were handing out any info tho. Their website is a bit sparse of real info as well.

I wonder how long that d-motor will last though, don't side valves have issues with head gaskets due to the lateral forces in the combustion chamber?

I doubt that side valve design would put lateral forces on a head gasket. The compression ratio is lower than OHV, so the pressures must be less. For an engine to be "Diesel" it must be compression ignition, not spark ignition. The injection in non diesel engines is just a means of getting fuel into the cylinder, whereas in a diesel it is also the timing for ignition of the mixture and also volume of fuel.
