just a film of brass to prevent corrosion while in storage. once the engine is fired it embeds into the rotor to plate them.
originally i used it just for rotors that had all the original plating removed but noticed that rebuilt motors retained the coating and had little to no corrosion regardless of storage so i clean them all with brass now. simpler than having them re-plated.
i figured it would burn off due to heat but the surface temp of the rotors obviously isn't quite hot enough.

Everything goes according to plan, but everything has its time
Meanwhile, the graphic card goes hot in the computer.
Is updating my drawings on the chassis and so on. And when inspiration is short, so make it a nice rendering, so you will be happy again

There will be a frame welded in the old body of the Volvo142, but with full rollcage.

I'm so jealous...
I'm also interested in seeing how you will machine the combustion pockets on the side of the rotors. I think that could be some tricky CNC code work.

Ah, I see them now. I'm interested to see how they are jigged up to machine the outside though too. Fantastic work so far though. I will be doing something similar in the spring hopefully.
