So my plan is to cut a barrel in half and borrow a propane burner from a friend, and use that to make an immersion tank that I can heat to 80 Deg C or more. Need to get over the Hazard Fraught to buy a grinder and some cut-off wheels, and a set of safety goggles, and cut up a barrel that has been rusting away under my back porch.
I'm going to make some rubber rings from old inner tube to put under each exhaust valve, so the spring will hold the valve/rubber/seat sandwhich to make an air-tight seal. Air might leak from the exhaust manifold/head joint, may have to use some sealant of some kind there if it does leak. Next rig a shrader valve to the end of the exhaust manifold, and pressurize with 15 lbs, then dunk the whole thing into the hot tank and see if I get any air passing from the exhaust side and then out of the cooling passages. What are the odds that there is a crack in a pre-chamber which is allowing exhaust gas to get into the cooling passages?
