We create a mold and cast our very own (functioning?) piston out of concrete! Will it run? Or just shatter our dreams?

Same. I did sorta feel like shouting at the screen the first few times they said cured instead of dried. Still cool, though.

@allenrhodes 3 ай бұрын

Correct 7 days for 50% and 28 days for 100%. And many people believe the rock in concrete gives strength but its main purpose is to absorb heat

@pastaalalamborghini 3 ай бұрын

A little fibermesh 150 would have helped too. Not as much as actually waiting for it to cure but had they actually done so, the fibermesh instead of the lint trap or whatever would have been a big help

A common trick I use to help with a low compression engine to see how it runs. I use some oil on the piston. Pour it down the spark plus take up extra ring spacing. Smoky but works

Can vouch, did it on my last built motor. Oil holds just enough to get that initial compression going.

you could try adding fiberglass fibers to the cement for strength. it also takes about a week for concrete to hit half strength and a month for full strength. I also think you'd be better off trying to cut the ring grooves rather than molding them

@russbilzing5348 3 ай бұрын

A fiberglass window screen would do a tolerable job if it were spiraled or soaked and wadded, then vibrated in the mold, I imagine.

Steve cool as hell nice first attempt. Fiberglass reinforcement in the concrete. You need stronger concrete and a lot longer cure time. 30 days minimum. Cut the ring grooves in with diamond saw. Polish head. Might be worth sealing concrete as well prior to running it. Possibly have a pro mix designer on the concrete. Box store is a mistake. Love it!
