o.s La .15 engine running with compressed air

the engine is fully stock. i just removed the glowplug and put a hose in the plug hole and end of the hose in to compresser air tank. the tank has only 3Bar pressure but if you have a compressor you can run this thing forever. just remember to lube it.

I dont see how this works!

air pushes piston down and exhausts out of Ex. port but the piston has equal resistance when trying to rise so why doesnt it stall on every up stroke?

how make?

Whats the point?

[sdably]

no piston rings in these engines they abc construction so just liner and solid piston but will wear out them both but the replacements are cheap enough

oh yeah but that would be a good wat to tear up an engine lol

[IANBUFFTON]

ye but its not running off fuel so there is no combustion. the compressed air can actually take heat away. but with no oil there is heavy wear on the piston ring n stuff

[dominic600]

woah man thats an awsome way to over heat an engine if you let taht go to long there is no oil or anything to keep it cool.
