VT 1.0D :
The first engine...
A development starting with an idea: Building up the prototype of my new little
diesel engine I took the opportunity making some photos in those moments when
my fingers were not to oily to hold my camera…
 |
The raw castings with the front part, the cylinder
head and the rear cover… |
| The crank case on work... |
 |
 |
The drilling for the later assembly of the arbor-
bearing sleeve... |
| The cylinder rips are worked out... |
 |
 |
The crankcase and cylinder head are prepared for further
detail finish, you can also see the cylinder head with prepared drills for
valves and head screws… |
On the cylinder head you can recognize the pedestal
for the later mount of the rocker arms.
The flanges for carburettor and exhaust pipe are positioned sideways with
an angle of 120°. -
|
 |
 |
The parts of the crankcase are fitting, the pedestal
for the rocker arms is milled and the exhaust pipe is fitted!
The small gear wheels are used for the camshaft drive…
|
| This match has normal size; it’s not a big one! |
 |
 |
Unfortunately the small sized gear wheels for the camshaft
drive are not available in any shop… |
| The lathe machining of the parts of crankshaft and
camshaft is only possible by building and using special work holding fixtures… |
 |
 |
Lathe machining of the crankshaft... |
All parts that will rotate and move:
Crankshaft, camshaft with gear drive, piston with bolt and connecting rod.
In the background: The finished back lid of the camshaft case…
|
 |
 |
The front part of the crankcase with it’s inner
main part, the eccenter bearing for compression regulation with its control
lever… |
| The valves with valve-ducts and springs before their
assembly at the cylinder head... |
 |
 |
The essential motor parts: The hardened
arbor-bearing sleeve is already shrunk into the cylinder and the rocker
arms are prepared for mounting…
|
| The first VT 1-D is ready, it’s now impatiently
waiting for a prop and diesel fuel! |
 |

...some small-talk between two giants...
