99 engines......

crankbndr wrote:Saturday morning I must have had my "head up and locked" I purchased 99 car engines.
I'd like to sell some for 5$ plus shipping costs. I can ship bulk to Europe. I'm trying to recoup my
cost and keep some engines. The teens on the board seemed interested in these engines, I'll
send you a couple free ones as i know you have limited funds. I'm going to list some on Ebay
for 10$ plus shipping. Should receive them this week. One thing for sure I wont need a glow head for a while!

Hi Doug

99 all running...at once.

Still looking for the engines, they were shipped by donkey cart from Id.
Shipping will only be a few $. I'll get back to everyone when I'm ready to ship.
I'll post picks when they arrive. I have PayPal.

Well the engines arrived today, packed well not, that box must have weighted 40 lbs.
The engines that have needles now have bent needles. Now the good news, I was looking for
single port cylinders with a 1 fin car head, all these are stamped #1 two port cylinders with SPI and a standard
glowplug. Most have been run but they are not rusty, the castor did its job. They are a bear to take apart, the
cylinders have no cutout for a wrench, however I found the heat sink makes a nice removal tool.
This is what they look like

Most look like this

This one cleaned up well

Wow... Just... Wow...

are you going to offer some to forum members? just asking? i was considering this same thing, (cleaning up), and offering them to the high school teacher who used the cox engines in his industrial arts or engineering class. i just didn't have enough paypal for 99 engines. again just asking??

p.s. nice job on the engine . how long did 1 take to clean up?

p.s.p.s. for some reason i didn't see the first part of this discussion until a couple of minutes after i posted. no reason to answer. i like the swimming part. LOL

I am still interested as well.

I'm interested in 3 of these as well, depends what shipping to the UK would be?

I'd be interested in at least 1 or 2 Doug.

thats a lot of action van and adam 12 engines complete with muffler, tether car guys would go crazy
any splined to convert to plane? like jason did.

If I can figure out the crankshaft taper then I can make tapered drive plates out of Medallion drive plates for plane use. I believe the old McCoy engines used a tapered drive plate.

They are all tapered.

I'll send you a crank if that will help.

There all parts engines, I'll send you some collectors cause you da boss!

Jason: and where can you get medallion .049 drive plates?? I have a couple of Atwood .049 boat engines with tapered shaft and i could do the same thing if i could find a thicker drive plate than the BB. i would appreciate any information.

edit: i just went and looked on ebay and they are the same as the TD drive plate, but i noticed that the hex drive plates on the newer engines are a little thicker than the older babe bee drive plates and i think i could use them. and i am not positive, but i think i read somewhere that the taper on the crankshaft was 57 to 60 degrees. but i can't remember where, i'm just too darned old.
