NGEZ-1 .056 cubic inch compression engine
Bore .437, Stroke .375, Max rpm (on this specific engine) 10 800 on a 6-3 prop.
I bought the plans from Joe
Webster for this engine after another diesel I built failed to run
(regardless of what I did).
The plans are very well drawn and the design is also very well thought
out.
The engine ran right away and will hand start now after 20-30 flips.
I went through aluminum connecting rods quite frequently in the start
and ended up switching to steel with very little difference in
performance.
I changed the carb to lean forward slightly to give me some extra air
going in the ventury and made a custom stand for it as well.
Tha base is polished and the post end engine brushed and polished (these
engines are messy and the brushed finish is easier to clean).
I am satisfied with the outcome and it is a fun little engine to
run..........with ear plugs !
The machining on this engine is basic in my opinion and the plans are
great......I am sure it could be attempted and completed by most novice
machinists.
Feel free to mail me in person with any questions you may have about the
engine.
