all my hard work over the last 2+ weeks = this:

 

wtf? you spent 2 weeks working on a tidy cats bucket and then you put an engine on it?? i dont get it!

 

I didn't know people still built wooden barrels. I guess up in hicktown kentucky there isn't much more to do, though...



Make an announcement when it runs. Until then it's just holding the cat litter from spilling...

 

Huh, so every time you build a rotary engine a cat dosen't have a place to ****?

Is that the lesson learned?

JK, looks good man!

JAmes

 

lol. kevin post in my other thread.

 

if anyone wants to mail me a free RE stand adapter FEEL FREE and i will gladly pay for the shipping.

 

All that work and you slap on that god awfull dirty intake? SHAME ON YOU

 

yeah, i know.. i'm gonna glassbead the UIM this weekend actually. <3

 

I'm sure you know this but you should put some masking tape on that engine.

 

You guys are such rookies. That's NOT a bucket of kitty litter. It's a deep-sump oil pan, fer cryin' out loud. Jeez.

 

Thats gotta be the fastest bucket of kitty litter on the planet! The engine looks great tho, just needs a chassis to match.

 

Those are whiskey barrels my friend. They are from the local heaven hill distillery.

Actually that just one barrell sawed in half and stacked on top of itself. There are more in the corner however. :d



PS: Jacob did this all buy his wittle self.

 

Is that why it took him so long?

 

Lack of planning, improper tools and or assembly ingredients, and lack of us both not having the same days off work seemed to compound our lack of skill with this rebuild.

It doesnt help when your rebuilding the engine on top of a bucket of kitty litter.

 

Is there specific brand of kitty litter we should buy for a rebuild? I have one, but it's not the same brand as yours....

 

Well the bag of arm and hammer didnt hold up too well to the weight of the engine so we had to step it up a notch to the plastic bucket off tidy cat. It held up pretty well. We even torqued down the flywheel nut with it sitting on there!!

 

hey i never said i did it by myself. i guess i shoulda named the thread all *our* hard work.

 

engine looks beautiful. hopefully its not just eye candy and sounds great as well

 

looks realllllyyy good. just please make everything on the engine and in the bay as clean too otherwise itll be sort of a waste to have that purrtty of an engine.

by the way, what did you use to paint it? and what did it cost?

 

Ill trade you...

 

for the kitty litter right?

 

I'd have the only kitty litter powered FC then...

 

I could send you a 5 gal. bucket, but you don't need the adapter plate to build and engine on the stand. You just need to pull out the studs from the front plate, where the ps and ac bracket mounts, and then use long bolts throught the mounting arms on the stand.

Funny part is, the engine is almost perfectly balanced and requires little effort to rotate.

 

I think my cat is jealous of my FD - when I put out some oil-wick to clean up a small leak under the car, the cat ran under there and took a dump in it. :-)

engine looks awesome, this thread is hilarious btw...
