arrived today, some perspective reference in size, standing next my wife…
oh yeah, the blue one is a second surprise gift… a air compressor, diesel, rebuild to run on sewer gas, where they did not succeed… ( has a distributor build on and sparkplugs, but i don’t know the engine’s condition… )
Do you think that blower is big enough to start your gasifier? 
Man I can’t wait to see that gasificer it will replace the village power plant over there. 
today started the engine on diesel… Bad ass power…
now pictures, uploading some clip later
all for testing the engine before taking it appart…
Wow your wife is great all dressed up and digging in to the work taking apart a machine bigger then she is. Looks like she has a new love in her life with that gasificer.
Wait untill you see the movie… she loves to rev that engine…
Uploading now… takes time…
one of the movies…
Your right with someone like that I could make alot of progress on my projects… women like that are hard to find around here.
Looks like you have a interesting project to convert that motor over. I am interested to know how it works out I have a need for a 100 hp tractor and would love to get one running on something besides diesel.
Wow, runs like clockwork. You’re a lucky fellow.
If I was not so attached to my wood piles I’d move south for a number of reasons.
incredible lucky with this engine for the future projects…
Let me share: CR 17:1…
Besides building ignition / sparkplugs, no need to convert…
Info about that: http://www.driveonwood.com/static/media/uploads/pdf/biomass_derived_producer_gas_as_a_reciprocating.pdf
Note that the advantage 17:1 CR towards Lower CR is about 3% more power output per point CR increased…

Making hands dirty…
Taking the cylinderhead of to install the spark plugs. Going to be a not so difficult job.
Also inspection of the inside 
You may have found a new business… I bet if you get it worked out someone could make money selling converted genorator sets.
Indeed it is…
Prototype for first batch of 28 sets, prototype includes a set to make charcoal ( retort style )
Have to ready for testing in 6 months…
A brave and careful man wearing a white shirt to work on an old diesel. Good luck with your project.
Fred
just tested / calculated the real physical CR
Yup, its 17:1…
Tomorrow checking the hole for the sparkplug… fitting just between the 2 valves…
Measuring the old injector should give you a good starting point thread it back into the head and see what it has for clearance. If you can work in that space you will be working in the manufacturers designs for clearance. The other thing I have been wondering about is how much pressure is that compression ratio putting on the spark plug and the spark? Thinking both physically blow out of the plug and the spark not being able to generate under the pressure. I remember reading something about that with respect to alcohol drag cars once.
If you look at the pot hole in the piston… i think i have clearance 
Just need to find the correct thread and sparkplug, but the compression is not a problem, its been done before…
How do you plan to build the ignition system? Multi-coil perhaps? Or build some kind of distributer?
