This engine has a really cool feature : it can upgrade itself from 4 to 6 cylinders. 03:12

I didn't know it was so easy to make an aircraft engine. I'll try in my garage.

Good ol' Boxer engines. Virtually bullet proof, and easy to work on. I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw the engine go from 4 cylinders to 6 and back. Thought my mind was playing tricks on me.

speaking of backups, check out the UH-60 hydraulic system, that's what i call an ocean of science

The ignition system if I am correct ( and I'm sure I am, as I perform maintenance on a 1955 Beechcraft Bonanza with an E225-8 engine ) consists of the plugs, wires, and mags. The V-tail has 12 plugs and wires, with two mags. I've also thought it funny that they're still making mags as it's basically 1940's technology and today's coil on cap systems are far more reliable.

Very good video enjoyed the detail! thought it was a subaru engine at first !

Wow sopar very very nice vedio and very very happy nice job I like

This is so awesome. I love engines and planes

wonderful video thanks Lycoming.

nice lil rv8

I love when the narrator says the thing about 4 cylinders right at the end. Because, of course, that lycoming 6 cylinder definetly only uses 4... Nice video though, learned quite a lot!

i like those little planes :)

Interesting video. Looks like an aircooled VW engine

Half of the video showed a 4-cylinder and the other half is a 6 cylinder

It's amazing that only silk thread that goes around the case keeps oil from leaking between both halves. Even going to RVC (Rock Valley College) through the AVM program they show us how it's done and since the thread has to be FAA approved it is quite expensive

Thats a dream job for thousands of people

ahh. Now it makes sense! Thanx!

the oil prevents contact metal to metal, it cools the hot parts and keep the engine clean inside thats the right phrase.

I like it!!!!!!!

still a very good video though

Watch carefully as he's installing the cylinder at around 2:22. Notice that the place is missing? Those "torque" plates are only installed temporarily during assembly; they aren't an actual engine component.

2:22 Those pistons are bloody massive. You use brake discs that size to stop a Veyron!

No.Spark plugs are spark plugs. The ignitions system are the magnetos.

Understod!

when i saw that happening i immediately went to look in the comments to see if anyone had said what i was thinking, and sure enough, first comment.

That's depends of the point of vue. This more reliable than overhead camshaft with timing belt, and requieres no maintenance during the engine life.

The ohc Ford V8 powered tanks during the war, as for their people mowers, simple design, cheap to drive and maintain. Not to different from Peugeot. When you say WW2 tech you must keep in mind cutting edge engine tech is pretty similar to day, engine management such as electronics is what have moved foreward.

About dual spark plugs: On planes - safety. On racing cars in the past it was mainly for spark duration. Correctly timed two plugs can together make a longer lasting spark which in turn improves the burn. Two plugs is on racing engines today more or less superceeded by various multiple spark discharge systems like MSD. Read Smokey Yunicks book "Power Secrets". It´s all there.

I like your thinking. :) lol

Silk in this place is absolutly the best thing to use. When the mainbearing are bored in the the block you cant use gaskets, silk can take oil, moves with the metal and dont affect torqe on the bolts. This is lightweigth, few parts, low end torq due to big volume and will last a very long time.

It's common in an air cooled engine, The cylinders can be connected to the block individually with space between them.

Indeed! The part is that was probably something like a 7.2 liter 180 HP engine. The pistons are so huge because it produces all of its power below 2400 RPM. If they used small pistons to produce that power by the engine turning faster, they have to add reduction gearing that increases weight, something to fail, power loss, etc. Props can't turn much faster than 2400 RPM (on this size plane) because if the blade tips exceed the speed of sound, drag increases and thrust decreases.

It's simplicity is it's beauty

Cool,1930's technology at work in that engine

Nicely done, that coming from and old FAA Certified Airframe and Powerplant Mechanic. Note that a magneto is not the same as an alternator. A magneto is a device that generates the energy to create the electrical ignition pulse t

Ignition system is everything. Plugs, wires and mags. TCM(Fadec) is starting too use it's new electronic ignition system in new planes now or retro fit older ones. Lycoming is also work on a EFI system also which is starting to show up on some new planes. Getting new tech approve for aviation can take forever and cost millions when it comes to engine. I know, I build engines for a living.

what's not shown.. why this simple engine, whose development, and tooling costs were paid in 1954, costs $28,000 !!

This is fabulous a result of 109 years of flight

much like a BMW Airhead... 50 years ago. (FWIW, Dual-plugging really works well)

We may see a resurgence of high tech piston driven radial/center shaft engines with the way gas prices are going...

Epic handy is Epic

The Hercules powered a number of aircraft including Bristol's own Beaufighter heavy fighter design although it was more commonly used on bombers. The Hercules also saw use in civilian designs. The design was also licensed for production in France by SNECMA. It was considered to be one of the most reliable aircraft engines of the era, and was well liked by both pilots and mechanics. (aircooled) Frm Wikipedia. Think......

I bet these would do great in a VW Beetle

Aircraft engines don't rev hard enough to need it. For example - a PA-28's redline is about 2700 RPM (from memory)

and also - the drive belts (or chains) are just another point for failure, and the cylinder heads are separated to allow proper air-cooling. the separate heads would mean you needed 4 cam shafts, 8 pulleys and 4 belts. timing would be a nightmare :)

Seems easy !

Soharino, you are right, it is. Where is the water cooled, compact, high-performance reliability like that you'd find in any reasonably modern car? This is air cooled 1930's technology!

This is going in an airplane, which has a maximum takeoff weight. Every pound you waste on radiators, coolant and water pumps is a pound you can't use for fuel, passengers or baggage. 1930s technology works fine, and it's lighter.

amazing

These are museum pieces. Time for modern technology now.

How you fix computer at 20 000 feet? if first magneto break second still make sparks. No battery and No generator needed.

It's more fun building a race engine - once built you then have to go and thrash the hell out of it to see how fast it is...

no, miss announcer, oil does not prevent friction, it reduces it drastically.

unlike a car where the crank sits inside the oil pan, the crank on a piston aircraft sits inside the block, the bearings require a tight fight, and as such you can't have a gasket. These engines have been in use for 80 years and theres no issue of reliability.. performance on the other hand leaves a bit to be desired. Which is why most companies today are going with Rotax, rather than Lycomming, or Continental.

@sabamacx OHC prone to failure. i would NOT want a timing chain to snap while in flight would you?, sure pushrods can break as well. this does happen. but youd know a pushrod is on its way out long before failure happens.

but with a much bigger displacement. The 4 cylinder ones are 320-360ci.

3:23 where is Magneto?? i dont see his helmet anywhere??? in fact, two Magnetos??? are you sure the other one is not Professor X?

The Lancaster, an evolution of the troublesome Avro Manchester, was powered by four Rolls-Royce Merlins, or Bristol Hercules engines. Bristol Hercules was a 14-cylinder two-row radial aircraft engine and it was aircooled. Think ...........

Lycoming has been building engines for over a hundred years. I think they know what they are doing.

That is Beautiful, but,He *forgot washers* on the Cylinder bolts at 2:30 .. That's a No-No . washers spread out the force and reduce friction for proper torque. I didn't see a Company name or Logo.

it's not meant to have washers my friend, I've spent too long putting these things together, and neither Lycoming or continental ask for washers under the cylinder base nuts, regardless of the type of nut. anything under the nut would only increase the possible of fretting in the case halves which wrecks engines and can cause a seize.

Right, RELIABILITY!, thats why these motors are so expensive (along with liability). You can buy VW beetle motors for aircraft if you want an engine without liability....they cost about $6000 for 70HP or so, after all if the damn thing breaks its hard to pull over and call AAA!

@mahdimatabdar Magnetos are part of the electrical circuit that generate electricity from the rotation of the engine - you need these to create electricity for the spark. Yes the engine is fuel injected, but you still need a spark plug to start combustion.

Whe speak here from the aircraft engine from the video, not a unknown Ford V8 (up to 1950, the most V8 Ford was flathead with lateral valves, a prehistoric design(built up up to 1973 (!!!)...), and for your information , the first known 4 valve engine is a Peugeot from 1913 ,well known in...Indianapolis Races...and during many years...

1. They use journaled bearings for reliability. 2. Fasteners are torqued, crimped, &/or safety wired. I don't understand what you are saying. Engines are built in many different configurations.

Now consider that Dr. Ferdinand Porsche designed an aircooled OHV flat 4 in the mid 30's.. earliest flat 4 in American aircraft was the 40 hp Continental ( J2 Cub) with a flat head ( L Head) engine what late 30's ? French put the VW in aircraft right after WWII ( Jodel), still used today.Franklin ( Air Cooled Motor Co.) had been making aircooled ( inline 4) auto engines since the 1920's ..and just post WWII introduced what was probably the most advanced flat 6 cyl aircraft engines of the time.. between 150 and 225 hp.

Err Herr Dr. Eng. Porsche didn't, he stole the design from the Checkoslovakians. After WW2 VW had to pay a large amount for this theft from TATRA.

Haha I noticed that too

who do you build for

Actually, truth be known, it's VW engines that look like opposed airplane engines. Porsche used them originally because they were light, already in production and he could get them for a good price.

oh alright genius

Piston engines? Remarkable? Yea if you're watching this in 1985...

Wow, all I need to build and aircraft engine is some sand paper and a crankshaft

you cant move it back and forth, the polishing is to remomve burrs from the grinding and it must be done rotating the crank.

0:50 that ain't his first rodeo!!

well it does look like a air-cooled vw engine a vw engine is a opposed twin thats air cooled with the push rod guides going along side the cylinders so ya....

er... no it doesn't, it uses venturi effect to drop the inlet manifold pressure bellow that of the fuel in the float bowl and suck the fuel into the airflow, one side effect of the drop in pressure is the drop in temperature resulting in the need for carb heat controls. don't worry, carb icing is very unlikely to ever effect a PC pilot such as yourself.
