Part 7 M2VL V2 Engine ball bearing

thingiverse

This is part 7 of the workshop. It remains with the V-engine, but here comes the version with a ball bearing. Actually, I wanted to present the boxer engine today, but unfortunately, I have little time at the moment. The ball-bearing version of the V-engine largely corresponds to the bolted version (see Part 6 - M2VS). However, a connecting rod bearing makes little sense in this case because the connecting rods move differently and there is not enough space for two connecting rod bearings. So it remains with the crank bearing as with the single-cylinder engine (see Part 3). Thus, only the base of the engine changes - which could also be easily drilled to 6 mm - and a small distance cone is added (see pictures). A ball bearing 6 x 3 x 2.5 mm and a countersunk screw are required as with the single-cylinder engine. The bearing is pressed back into the base on a vise, so that the outer ring is firmly seated. The countersunk screw, the spacer ring, the crank, and the nut on the crank then rotate freely with the inner ring. The further assembly should be apparent from the pictures, corresponds to the screwed version, and takes about 10 minutes.
