Don't want to alarm you Hugh but there appears to be some sort of nefarious type loitering above you in that video.

What you rubbing rod wise there? Engine sounds happy

 

[HughF]

3.5ltrs of 25:1 used for about an hour of continuous welding and 20 mins idling.

Rods were 7016 1/8th at 115a. UTP Comet j50n, out of the oven that morning. Other joints were done at 130 and 145a with some 4mm rods of same type. Vids of those joints are on my youtube. Engine needs crank seals but will pull 200a without any drama.
