That looks to be a very substantial fixture. Better safe than sorry.

Quote from: RReidBack on page 6 of this thread is a brief discussion of the clever and patented H-S adjustable valve tappet assembly, and whether I could or should try to replicate it in my build. In the end I settled on a good suggestion from Mike (Vixen) that is much simpler to make and more robust at this size, while still retaining a reasonably accurate appearance.

Now, almost exactly two years later (!!) I've gotten around to making a first sample in metal. Happily it turned out pretty well. Only fifteen more sets to go.

Hello Ron,
Good to see you are back in the workshop working in the Hispano Suiza V8 once again.  You've been a long time away.

Also, it's nice to have some i/c engine interest on the MEM forum for a change

Cheers 

Mike

MikeC you have put on a very nice display. Wish I had been able to come and share the tables with you.
Maybe next year

Cheers

Quote from: A7er I might attempt a V12 too. The best things about 3D printing all the bits is that they have no working internal parts (yet).

A7er,  If you fancy a challenge, have a go at printing      https://makerworld.com/en/models/737819-porsche-917-engine.

It's a model of the Le Mans winning Porsche 917 engine. It's a 180* flat, air-cooled V12 with fully functional crankshaft, rods and pistons and gear drives to the four overhead camshafts, which operate the valves in correct sequence. Be warned it's big model, but you may be able to scale the prints to half size.

Cheers

Mike

You will also find Andre Vuillermet's Lycoming o360 airplane engine at:

https://makerworld.com/en/models/1663753-lycoming-o360-airplane-engine#profileId-1760456

It's a very neat little flat 4, which prints well. Sorry but no internals in this one.

Rest peacefully Eric, you had a busy life.

Mike
