99 engines......

You have to remove the cylinder, it slides off the bottom. Most are stuck and need soaking and or heat.

ok, ill soak my cylinders tonight

Not much left, don't want to see a car engine for a long time. Things I'll never need again,glow heads and copper gaskets ,crankcase gaskets, #1 cylinders, pistons
Horseshoe backplates. Cannibalized nearly every engine for parts, did not sell one engine on Ebay but folks paid more for parts than they could have bought the engine
for. The exhaust collectors sold like hotcakes, they must be used for something other than cars. I made about 150$ for about 40 hours work, spent 100s in shipping and fees
and countless trips to PO. Glad there gone!

I think I bought some of your backplates just to get the copper reeds. I wasn't a member of this forum at the time. Selling stuff on ebay can be a pain because of all the boxing of items and trips to the post office.

Just out of curiousity, where do all these used engines come from? Were they factory seconds? They appear to have been run. Was this the intitial run after being manufactured?

If you want more reeds I'll send some unrun ones free. Let me know.
Thats another thing I'll never need again.

About 30% were never fueled but they were mounted in a model and removed for some reason, maybe at Cox, others were run but not much, must have been returned to Cox.
I do not think the SPI cylinders would work well with the exhaust collectors.

If I am not mistaken the beryllium reeds are no longer manufactured beause their production is hazardous to the health of the employees. I don't think they will be a problem for me to use. PM on the way.

i wouldent mind a cpl of complete engines as well as a few exhaust collectors if you have any left ?

Did you used brake cleaner to clean the engines?

I used fuel on my engines.

Took a staff member 15 hours to disassemble and clean 50 engines

Engines and parts are now for sale here:

Anyone know where to get an endless supply of those car engines with the tapered crank shafts? Just need long blocks, I.E. no back plate or front end. I am working with someone who is trying to re-manufacture the Cox Funny Cars. He sent me 2 of the prototypes a while back as they were having engine problems and the over sea's company that was manufacturing engines didn't do a very good job with parts fit and tolerances!

The seller phastmotors on eBay sold hundreds on eBay this past summer. Maybe contact him to see if he has any more.

Hi my apologies am I in reading this understanding these are all gone or us there a small few still left for sale I know this was posted some time ago just wondering
Cheers

Not sure if he has any left. I was going to buy a few awhile back but some things came up and I never got around to completing the deal.

Hey admin just looked up your utube u have a 350-4 pull start on there that really is neat isn't it have been thinking about seriously building a tether car for ages built a very simple one last year single wheel drive with a nice flywheel but not really a work of art more functional than pretty I will say though I could start it by just spinning the drive wheel with my fingers !!!
