My neighbour knocked on the door this evening and politely asked if I could help move his engine as he is going to rebuilt it.
Well, he has 2 Espaces, a petrol lawnmower and a small off-road go-cart.

So, no probs, I readily agreed.


I didn't expect this........................

I won't give the game away just yet because there are some knowledgable peeps on here.

Suffice to say that the starter motor is bigger than my 2lts 6 cyclinder.

The girl in the photo look scarred - not half as scarred as when Daddy fires the thing to life at 02:30 hrs on Sunday morning and the house falls down.

Looking at the twin collector rings (which ain't half gonna take some bashing out so they work) maybe a Brisstle Centaurus off a Sea Fury

Is my uneducated guess

Spelling a bit orf, but hit the nail on the head there mate.

Not a Sea Fury but a Blackburn Beverly 'Boxcar', RAF Transport Command. The engine also appeared in Constelations so there are loads of spares in Arizona and Nevada (I'm given to understand).

18 cyclinder Radial, a smidgin under 54ltrs. 2850hp.

the exhaust collector rings are going to be a bugger to source, they were difficult to get in the late seventies when I use to work on two Sea Furies at that time.

Side valve trickerie, all very Blitish.  I've got some section drawings still somewhere from the war showing how it all worked.

Peter,

If you could lay your hands on them, I'm sure Paul would like to look at them.

Would he not be better off buying a running unit?

I remember when some one bought (long story) brought a jet engine they payed a couple a grand for it and it was a running unit.


But I can't wait till he starts it up for the first time, and even better, You can't moan about the noice as you helped him to move it in

Like the way he used the rolled system to move it in, very Egyptian roller system/ Used that when I had to move an old phone box. Simple but effective.

Tell him good luck

Neil,

He can't fit it in his garage and work on it, can't do it in the garden because of 'pikies' Oooops, non PC travelling vagrants with HIABS. So it will be going into his workshop down the road. No residents there Evil Grin Grin Grin
