twin disscussion

[Rotore]

One method would be to corectly relocate the oil pickup. Tap into the oil galley after the pump, run this into the top of your dry sump tank, and then connect the tanks (bottom mounted) return line back into your engines oil galley thats feeding the engine. The tank and cap would have to hold pressure. Theres a lot that could go wrong here and I'm not necessarily suggesting you should attempt this, I'm just answering your questions.

thats confusing buddy lol

If you could mount the dry sump tank under the engine, you could just drill out a sufficient drain hole in the bottom of the engine to allow gravity to fill the tank. Then you'd just need to plumb the oil pickup to draw oil from the bottom of the tank.

Thing is, even in a pressure lubed engine, it still might need the crank splashing oil around to help lube things and you wouldnt be getting this with a dry sump setup.

Oh ok i get where your going with this dude i think i might just wait it out a friend said he a horizontal laying around his shop bringing it by on monday

 

[anderkart]

Good idea

 

[Rotore]

lol dude you actually gave me an idea but idk if it would be worth it?

my in-law said that i has a 400cc briggs that i can use its a vertical and single cyl.

do you think that would work if i add a oil pump and tap holes in the block. 1 in the that has a fitting aiming towards the bore and another aiming to the valve tappets?

Then use the coil and carb from the 25hp on it?

It might, but from what I've learned: Splash oil systems at higher rpm's create a fine mist of oil that lubes everything. I dont know how you could duplicate that with an external pump. (meyby nozzles that sprayed a mist everywhere instead of streams of oil directed at certain componets?)

around what rpms?

idk? i might go for it

I have no idea, probably starts creating a mist at idle.

Nice engine dude wish i had the money for it lol

 

[BriggsTwins]

it aint bad, ask him for 100$ maybe he will take it

 

[Rotore]

lol ill call on monday since i was offered another twin from a friend ill catch if its usable if not then ill go for it

 

[BriggsTwins]

sounds good, that engine looks nice but i dont need another

 

[Rotore]

Yes it does it'd be a blast to turbocharge it

 

[BriggsTwins]

oh god they have at least 4.25" pistons, they move air

 

[Rotore]

Thats massive dude lol i crackd open my in-laws briggs and looks great since he had it running 23hours only thing is it was a bit dirt in the cranj case and cyl and the head gasket looks freakin new so ill be keeping it as a back up.

 

[BriggsTwins]

good, these engines are unique, i like how the opposed twins stumble when decelerating its such a specific sound

 

[Rotore]

U want to here one with a bov

 

[BriggsTwins]

bov?
