These things are tough, a real pain in the a**, sounds like a timing issue. But my anxiety is at 500% just watching you guys trying to get it started... I have small engine PTSD rn.

@MyAutomotiveChannel thank you, unfortunately just like the donut guys I'm dealing with engine troubles rn...lbvs.

@MyAutomotiveChannel thx, I decided to rebuild the engine right in the middle of filming another crazier jet GoKart project, all of the head bolts broke in the engine block, I milled everyone out with relative ease, except the last one which has been an absolute nightmare. Hopefully today I'll have a better day.

@MrOddsmurf very soon, I have been developing that power plant for about 7 months now, everything from the ground-up is custom made, it was so complex I can't even tell you. But my last components just showed up 4 days ago, so I'll be putting everything together starting next week. Thanks for asking

@MrOddsmurf exactly, I had to design and build and work with large manufacturers to custom develop and do all the run testing on every single component. But right now, my package makes so much power pound-for-pound, it's going to be crazy to see if I hit my range goal of 1600 miles at 80mph in a 1000hp AWD Tesla...lol. I have sacrificed countless videos, money and health mental and physical to get to this point, but at the end I think it will be worth it.

@Xfacehack thanks! It has been very painful.

@deimosreign3662 ha! One of these days, as soon as I hopefully get my production schedule back on track here, I've taken on some very difficult projects lately that have completely locked up my schedule

@scottiemintz5982 glow plugs will work in place of the ignition system, that's what I did on mine. The issue is the timing of the cylinders and the valves has to be spot-on. That way you have all the compression strokes in the right order

@hecker4758 thanks! It's coming but it wasn't easy. Thanks for the support

@calebwiant1182 you can use either glow plugs or spark plugs with an ignition. There are pros and cons to both. That's the whole reason I haven't released my actual miniature V8 episode, I have standards and if those standards are not Met, well I'll build it myself
