Yesterday I got a package with the mail from a guy called Flu at a Swedish motorcycle forum I am active at, four Fluke thermocouples with weld bungs! Today I started assembling the engine again, since you have seen pics from it a hundred times before I didn´t bother to take so many pics. Here is one where I have just torqued the compressor nut. I gave the compressor a new white dot that the tachometer is aimed at, earlier I painted it with the engine in the frame but now I could do it a bit better with a slightly sanded surface for the paint to stick to properly. I also gave the rear fairing plug another layer of filler before I called it a night, I´ve also fitted the starter to my Viper engine but that is covered in another thread. Cheers! /Anders

Last night I put the JU-01 back together, next up is to start figuring out how to make the gearbox oil jet lubrication. Cheers! /Anders

By the way, it is the final month of the Boca Bearing competition and all votes are reset. The two youtube-celebrities with one million followers or so have won one month each so now it is a golden opportunity for me to glide in there and pick the last ticket to the final! Pleeeeeease my dear friends, can you find in your hearts to vote on me again? Keep harassing your neighbors and relatives until they vote as well. Those of you with Facebook know what to do! www.bocabearings.com/innovation-contest/ContestantDetails.aspx?ProjectID=137

Yesterday I got the new ceramic bearings I´ve ordered, stainless cages should take the heat better than plastic and the soon-to-be oil jet lubrication should keep the temps down and the bearings happy. Cheers! /Anders

I´ve gotten 1/2 of the gearbox modifications done by now, the first thing I did was to cut a groove for a piston ring seal in the freepower turbine coupling. With that done I made an oil jet nozzle in brass, two 1mm holes opposite each other will spray oil at the ball bearings. Here is the finished nozzle silver soldered to a hydraulic fitting. Here you can see it sitting, ready to do some serious lubing! To drain the oil out from the primary shaft tunnel back to the gearbox sump I arbored a groove in the rear bearing seat. I fitted a scrap bearing so you can see the finished groove, it exits just behind the pinion gear. My next project will be to figure out how to make the gear mesh oil jet, I will need to force a jet of oil in between the gears since the centrifugal force will throw off any oil picked up the wet sump. And two bonus pictures, a local newspaper did a two page story about me and the turbine projects today so I got a fair bit of positive comments at work. www.op.se/jamtland/ostersund/han-drommer-om-att-bli-snabbast-i-varlden-pa-motorcykel-1Cheers! /Anders
