    Wooden Engines anyone?

    As one of my side hobbies, besides buffing my car, I put together wooden engines. I've worked on wooden engines for a good 2 years now. I've built 6 wooden engines from sizes of about .1 liter to 1.5 Liter.
    Engines I've made:
    0.1L Two Cylinder Boxer
    0.5L Single Piston x2
    0.8L Straight 4
    0.9L Six Cylinder Boxer / V6
    1.5L Straight 4

    My current project is my 1.5L I4










    The the connecting rods are Black Walnut. Pistons are Oak. Wrist pins are Birch. Crankshaft is Particle Board/Fir mix. Block is more fir.
    I only use the best lubrication....Castrol Syntec 10w-30, runs heat free!

    Im still fixing kinks in the steady idleing, its a bit rough in places. Ill try to get a video of it. So far Its been revved to a hair-raising 3200 rpm
    I'm hoping to see how fast it goes before BOOM!
    Tell me what ya guys think!
    Also my sig has a link to all my engines

        That is awesome man! When I first started reading, I thought maybe there were wooden models you were assembling... but it's neat to see that you actually build them from scratch!

                  Yeah... internal combustion with a wood engine is not a good idea... but hand cranking just to watch it go is still cool as hell

                      yeah, it'd be really cool to see a working head to go with that block! That's a lot of detail work though... might be difficult.

                          Actually I did some calculations and I believe I can go DOHC (lmao) If I got DOHC then the factory timeing belt MAY fit off of a D15. Out of all my engines I WANT to see this engine RUN. I live near a scuba store, maybe I can rent an air tank (3,000 psi should run it)
