Not a spark ignition engine?

Or you just havent mounted

the ignition components?

hot bulb, plug?

I saw the valve pocket,

it didn't look like it could be a diesel?

@FireDropTechnologies This engine has an ignitor ignition.

Great, as always. How do you decide where to put the in-gate and riser relative to the part? In this case, for example, you put the in-gate on an area of the part with a relatively small cross-section. Why?

[myfordboy]

@bx2200 Its best to feed the casting at the thickest part. This is what I did on this one. At 24:06 you can see where the ingate was. The riser was taken from the top of the casting in a place that will be machined. The Ingate is also in a part that will be machined so no clean up on the finished surface of the item.
