 roycroft | and increments of 0.010" are pretty commont | 02:11:29 |
| roycroft | it's at least a plausible explanation | 02:11:50 |
 solarwind | And yes they do wear into ovals | 02:11:51 |
 CaptHindsight | used rubbing compound earlier to polish crank journals | 02:11:58 |
| roycroft | but don't worry about it | 02:12:24 |
| solarwind | In the same plane as the piston rod's movement | 02:12:25 |
| roycroft | a bigger bore means more horsepower | 02:12:31 |
| CaptHindsight | works on paint as well | 02:12:35 |
| roycroft | if you tune the engine properly | 02:12:50 |
| solarwind | Which is hard to do with locked down modern ECUs | 02:13:06 |
| CaptHindsight | see rusefi | 02:13:28 |
| solarwind | Unless yuu have the right programmer, sometimes highly manufacturer specific | 02:13:30 |
| CaptHindsight | 2 engines, one for the testing date, and the other for daily driver | 02:14:03 |
| solarwind | I'm in the process of converting an old snowblower engine to a supercharged, EFI system with a custom built engine controller | 02:16:04 |
| solarwind | it has cast iron lined cylinders, so it should be able to handle a mild boost | 02:16:20 |
| CaptHindsight | https://rusefi.com/ what I use | 02:17:05 |
| solarwind | I'm going to make it as electronic as possible with optical encoders everywhere | 02:17:07 |
 CloudEvil | :) | 02:17:13 |
| solarwind | If I can get rid of the camshaft and use solenoids to actuate the valves, even better | 02:17:25 |
| CloudEvil | actuated valves are quite hard and expensive | 02:17:51 |
| solarwind | yes that's one of the hardest parts | 02:18:00 |
| * roycroft could use a fireplace bellows as a snowblower | 02:18:12 |
| CloudEvil | They are of very limited benefit beyond variable timing and amplide which is rather easier | 02:18:13 |
| solarwind | CaptHindsight thanks I'll check out rusefi | 02:18:52 |

| CloudEvil | I'm pretty sure '20% of a typical engine' today is a lie | 02:21:20 |
| CaptHindsight | https://www.liquidpiston.com/ | 02:21:28 |
| CaptHindsight | why not just go electric on the snow blower? | 02:22:48 |
| CaptHindsight | 50k rpm spindle | 02:22:56 |
| CloudEvil | https://www.ebay.ca/itm/393467902504?oid=403031886223 Or jus get five of these and skip the motor | 02:26:57 |
