I feel like an entire episode could be made on almost any one of those steps. Would love to see more detail on the mold and how it fits together.

I always thought they machined these from solid hunks of metal. Making molds seems a lot more economical!

@sleepychallenger 5 ай бұрын

In the aftermarket, they will mill them from solid pieces of, usually, forged materials. These are called billet blocks. Much stronger, much more expensive

@@sleepychallengerAs far as being more expensive, it's not so simple. For cast parts to be cheaper than billet cnc'd parts, you need to make enough units. For low volume/custom parts, billet cnc'ed parts are often much cheaper.

how about the small holes around the engine blocks? how does it mold

@bryanchambers9038 2 жыл бұрын

All the small holes are coolant and oil passageways. They are apart of the sand-glue molds. The molten aluminum flows and forms around it. The molds are only good for one heating cycle. So after the engine block cures they run it through an additional heating cycle, which causes the sand-glue mold to lose its structural integrity once again becoming simple sand and then it's simply poured out of the holes.

@mr.nobody68 Жыл бұрын

I'm assuming you mean bolt holes? They are machined later

Why don't we see people designing and making their own engine blocks in their own shop? I probably don't know what I'm talking about. But I see a billet of metals with some holes and sleeves. What would be the challenge in machining a single cylinder engine block from scratch?

@auroranovae4493 Жыл бұрын

Machining is a reductive process and certain angles are just literally impossible without super specialized tools for your standard engine blocks. But a simplistic engine would be feasible, albiet expensive on time and material due to the base block size needed.

@Ckcdillpickle Жыл бұрын

Its a lot of money just when current designs already exist. it does certainly happen, its not very common though and its usually a machined block and not a cast one

@grampabadger Жыл бұрын

Before computers, engine blocks were made of cast iron and machined by hand - but they were much smaller and seldom over 4 cylinders. Once numerical control milling machines were invented, the process could handle larger engines.

lol the each core is made by blowing the sand and glue mixture into a mold made of iron? How was the master mold made then? Did someone make a mold of sand by hand the first time? Also, how did someone in the late 1800’s figure out how to even make an engine work? How did they know spark plus fuel in a combustion chamber would creat an explosion to create power and then transfer it to a transmission that would propel a car?

the real issue is that every couple years, google changes the compression method for videos, resulting in older videos becoming shittier and shittier in quality. perfectly clear videos uploaded in 2005 are now pixelated messes because of this, which is why if you upload your own videos, _always keep your original copy!_
