    The red patterns are Glenn's, they should have been used years ago but now I have to cast some cylinders might as well have a hack at one and see what happens.

    The other is the 175cc uniflow cylinder, another failure so it got cut in half to look what went wrong. A core slipped.

    Now I have another stacked up ready to pour.

    And here, some pictures of last weeks castings. Two more 360 cylinders and two Subaru EA81 four port cylinder heads

    I think I was the delivery system for those patterns of Glenn's. It has been a while. Weren't they warped ?
    Can you work around that ?

    Yes they were but sitting in my dry (ish) shed all this time they seem to have straighted out again. Im not entirely sure how it all fits together but I guess Im finding out now. Just make some sand parts and see.

    Now I see why I havent done these before, the centre core is so intricate that its almost impossible to fill. Asking a foundry freind this evening it seems the patterns were designed to run in a cold sand blowing machine. There is only one such machine in NZ and they dont do out work.

    Looks like I might have to modify the die to get access to the intricate exhaust. Then have a plug fit in to seal it off afterwards. Or make a cold core blower, will need to consult the patterns owner I guess.

    I can see the pattern's owner now searching the internet for a tutorial on making a cold core blower from old truck parts.....

    OTOH, it wouldn't surprise me if there's one in his dad's collection of "useful shit"

    Unfortunately it requires some nasty chemicals, I doubt Its avaialble to general public. Triethalamine gas, aparently not so good for people.

    i say Do what you need to make it work.
    That other stuff smells like a smelly cooter.
    i think there is a video of someone using the original process.
    it might have been in this thread with the Italian giani.

    This is how my core box works, sand can be loaded from the top, bottom and through the exhaust port. Easy access.

    he puts sponge on top to defuse it as its applied at about 58 PSI
    or it could be a recipe for some fine food

    Lowering the exhaust port timing, simple as a bit of bondifill. These next cylinders will be for another Autogyro engine, lower rpm, lower exhaust.
