Part 3. DIY Internal Combustion Engine Made from Old Compressor - Head from Intel Heat Sink

In this part we will be manufacturing the cylinder head out of an old stock Intel heat sink. The spark plug I bought at the Home Depot and is a CMR7A with M10 X 1.0 threads. Instead of buying a tap I just used a 3/8 drill bit to make the hole which allowed the plug its self to be used as a tap when screwed in. It's not great but it will work. I may need to find something different to make the head gasket out of. Maybe JB Weld? :D

Why? Because it will be a challenge and I like a little challenge. The main constraints that I have put on this project are limited power tools. I will only use a battery drill, hacksaw, and other common hand tools and materials. Working with constraints are what real world engineers basically do and I find it challenging and fun working in this way. There are three reason for trying to do this with minimal tools: 1. so anyone, even someone in a third world country can replicate. 2. to show what you might be able to do in an apocalyptic situation. 3. creative thinking. I hope you enjoy. Please leave ideas and suggestions in the comments below!
