All things do not always go according to plan, but they do happen in this project as well. Today I realized that there is a low level of coolant in the cooling system, when I topped up the water and started the engine, I noticed bubbles, otherwise very little, well, “there’s a rabbit in this bush”. Now I will have a reason to open the engine and replace the head gasket, but there is still some maintenance work to be done, the thrust bearing of the clutch can be heard, the plate of the cardan clutch slides under heavy load,… quite a bit of work for rainy days. When the engine is already dismantled, I will reduce the compression ratio a bit to 1:13 or 1:14, so I hope to get rid of the detonations that occur under heavy load, wood gas is no joke, it produces good power in the engine, comparable to diesel fuel.
Reducing the compression ratio; slightly cut off the top of the piston, increase the channel and volume of the combustion chamber in the engine head
