Guess time to show the NGH 38 better to folks who still like the noisy power bits
1. The Open box
2. The destruction's that accompany the engine. However these are not exactly from factory but have been worked upon by Just Engines in UK
3. The box packing
4. Contents out of the box

1. The ignition and other bits. Note the supplied feeler gauge for tappets
2. The standard exhaust stub
3. The Just Engines supplied muffler (does not come if you get your engine from HK)
4. The engines sports a genuine custom made Walbro carb for NGH

1. The carb comes fitted with a short venturi (should help)
2. The Just Engines supplied metal mount, pre-drilled and tapped. Engines from HK come with a back plate and stand offs
3. Supplied tools
4. In case any one was wondering about the short head allen key, this picture should make the function quite clear

Coming up next, yet another twin four stroke currently performing duty on my large Cub. In fact I am taking off the cowl to install on-board twin glow and this would be a perfect excuse to take pictures of the engine as well

Will be great to see the twin (opposed, i presume)

flyingboxcar

Iyer saab, yes they are opposed to each other but they do work together so that the big piece of plastic or wood bolted on the front keeps rotating. I have also noticed that even if one decides not to cooperate and shuts down the other continues to labour and to remedy this I decided to install on board glow from http://www.southhertsmodels.co.uk/

Sir,
By 'opposed' I only meant physiologically, not psychologically  ;D
Then I wonder what a 'Boxer' does...

Elementary, they are more than opposed. They box

But time for the engine now

1. So here it is, the box that the engine came in. I acquired it pre-loved but in fantastic shape and along with quite a few exhaust accessories that one needs to purchase separately and all at fantastic price.
This is an ASP 160 Twin

2. See the seller details on the engine box along with the signature and sale date? Yes it is same as one shown earlier at post 314

3. The engine comes in a nicely varnished light ply box with a foam insert (foam insert was missing in this case)

4. And is also accompanied by few sheets of destructions  ;D

Some of you might have guessed that the engine was acquired (as said earlier pre-loved) from UK and the original supplier was Just Engines

1. The engine is supplied from factory with just two down pipe exhausts but I got the below pictured exhaust accessories in the deal and these case be used in varied configuration where required. The Allen keys did come with the engine supplied from factory in Far East ;D

2. Close up of the prop recommendations for the engine

3. Close up of the exploded engine diagram

4. Not the best way to show an engine when it is mounted on the model, but then that is what these engines are meant to do. Here is the top view

1. Looking at the engine from front and under the prop shaft, one will also notice the empty exhaust port where the down pipe has been removed to facilitate cowl removal

2. The engine uses a hefty sleeve nut, AFIR 12 mm, and sharp eyed observers will notice the missing needle valve. Again out for cowl removal    

3. The left cylinder

4. And finally the twin glow that is going on the engine

Er, before that, the pic in reply 336 was a shock. A boxer twin with exhaust headers coming out of the back? Yuck.
Pic in next post showed exhaust outlets facing front, as any decent exhaust should...
Was going to ask if you twisted the cylinders around  ;D

Well, a bit of research revealed the truth. The rear ones are inlets.
I can breath easier now...

flyingboxcar

Iyer saab, it's not just you alone, although it is a picture taken by me of my own engine, the first time I saw the picture here it took me some time to realize that I was looking at the intakes and not the exhausts   ;D

Miles to go before it reaches the bottom

looks more like Mariana trench to me

A Great pilot will practice until he can't get it wrong.

Coming up next
A fairly big block and a tiny diesel  ;D
Anyone identifies this tiny one?
