David David, there are three things trotting around in my mind. Building the actual Dyno room Building a "behind the shop" scene c/w weeds, junk, type of thing. Enlarging the door at the end of the shop.
landman Posted October 4, 2018 Author Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) Looks like there is a need for something versatile to ease the handling of the heavier engines. The boss asked for a hydraulic dolly. The casters are made with the cap end of blood sugar monitoring lancets. Nothing goes to waste here. Edited October 4, 2018 by landman
landman Posted October 5, 2018 Author Posted October 5, 2018 Working on the control system. Mocking up with an engine to find location of cylinders.
landman Posted October 6, 2018 Author Posted October 6, 2018 Some plumbing work. Trying to get it plausible.

Anglia105E Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 More expert detailing work from you Pat...... and the finished result is so real looking. I particularly like the large hole in the side wall of the engine block ! David

However, it does have that look of serious damage. Edited November 25, 2020 by landman
landman Posted October 15, 2018 Author Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) FTB is working on a Junkers Jumo engine which they have been commissioned to restore for display. There are a few touch ups left to do as well as deciding whether to install the exhaust system or not. We need to build a suitable display stand also. Edited November 25, 2020 by landman
Gramps46 Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 Very impressive indeed! Just noticed the sockets and torque wrench on the cart, love it.
Anglia105E Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 Pat.... would that be a Junkers aircraft engine from World War II ? David

It was used in the Junkers JU188 and the Focke-Wulf 190 and TA's among others. There were many variations of it made. I believe this is supposed to be a 213a.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 Cool! That Junkers engine would be really cool in a Truck Pat!

Eshaver Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 Pat , do you shrink yourself in order to display these pieces of art ?

landman Posted October 22, 2018 Author Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) It has been pointed out to me by a sharp eyed member that my shop doesn't have a valve grinding machine. So I went today and photographed and measured one. Coming soon. Edited November 25, 2020 by landman
landman Posted October 22, 2018 Author Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) And...I have decided to go ahead with a dyno room. Gathering info and toying with a layout. Also coming soon. Edited November 25, 2020 by landman
Anglia105E Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 Way to go Pat....... keep adding those extensions, and the building continues....... ! David
landman Posted October 22, 2018 Author Posted October 22, 2018 In the salvage mood. My wife handed me an old power bar and requested I make a short extension out of the cord and throw the rest away. Well, before anyone throws anything away, one should look inside. there are several usable shapes in there, even neat small light lenses. And the circuit board donated some "tanks".
