Any one please have any photos of the engine or show me where they are so I can add the full pipes etc. Looked on the net and all I can see is loads of Trucks

Thanks

That's going by the "numbers" JR. ...........can't help with engine detail shots...I suspect if you search 4 cyl. GMC engines it should come up in images....one would think.....good hunting Rick H.

As I am sure you are aware it is a GMC 7-41 four cylinder, two stroke engine of 110 hp engine. Reading other peoples build blogs they have been unsuccessful in finding detailed photos of the engine. Hopefully our friends across the pond may be able to help

U-tube video 'Detroit Diesel test run' has clear 360 degree views of GMC 4-71 2cycle 4 cylinder engine.

You are doing a great job there John, keep it coming.

Steve, I'm relieved to read what you say about other people not finding them either.

Thank you oh Wise One, do you mean these shoes

This one?

Look right to the kit engine, when I've finished fitting the engine in I can start to plumb it .

Yes Jim , it's so detailed it's just calling for some extras.That video is going to be really helpful that Paul has found. Will be spending some time looking at it , most likely in pause and 1/2 speed

It's a great video Lee, I've got it in my watched list. Love the sound.

A big thanks to Paul for the recommendation and to Jakko for finding it. Will be fun doing the detailing.

It’s why Death stopped using a skeletal steed and got Binky instead: no more need to stop to wire bits back on.

Lol, well I had to google Binky....

Lol, well I had to google Binky....

Hi Ron, I still have no idea , even after looking at Google !

Looks super, John !

Thanks Ron.

Got my eye you

Welcome Dave, getting a bit tricky this morning, as the photos will show !

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


It would be easier if the instructions were slightly clearer, just having a couple of arrows pointing down as in thew photo is not very clear.

Part no A13 X2 has 3 small pins, well blobs more like. You don't apply glue to the mount its self to the engine, so it can angle. If they are left flat on the torsion bar frame the fan belt rests on the front frame. Decided to fit the exhaust pipe as the mounting brackets should set the hight of the engine. Well they don't , at this point trying to line up the engine was pointless, so I glued the prop shaft in place. This has to be straight with the rear transfer so using this as a reference point I glued the whole lot into place. In fighting with the frame I've lost the bottom hose sections , 2 of them. Soon made a replacement from stretched sprue. This can wait until the engine is fully detailed and painted. Not going to fit the rad at this point either , because of the painting.


Yes well and truly wrangled into place. The exhaust pipe mounting at the front is about 3mm up Any lower and the engine would fowl on thew front x bar.
Now going to start the detailing of the engine.

Dzhon.
