From reading all the input from my recent post - 07/11/99 , it seems that the my Toyota 4 cylinders would produce plenty of compressed air in the 100psi range for sandblasting in considering MODIFICATIONS to intake and exhast workings of the engine - along with the branching lines from spark plug outlets to storage tank each having a check valve in line.
In modifing the the exhast part I would need to remove the rocker arms. This would close off any chance of compressed air exscaping and then air would channel into the storage tank and held captive by the in line check valves. On the intake part it would seem ideal just to put in line check valves(or something of a similar function) opening out into the atmosphere instead of having anything to do with cam operated valves. The safety advantage of course would mean totally avoiding vaporized gas. I should perhaps have an air filter for dust.
In having the ideal -check valves only(or something of a similar function)- instead of cam operated intake valves the intake stroke ( piston going down ) would suck in air from the atmosphere. On the compession stroke this air would get pushed into the storage tank. Then on the power stroke ( piston going down) the intake stroke would be simulated again instead of a power stroke and air would be sucked in . Then on the exhaust stroke the compession stroke would now be simulated , with compressed air going into the storage tank. Therefore with an ideal - check valve only(or something of a similar function) - modification I would be running a four piston compessor., by now using the power and exhast stroke.
Ideal and reality are two different things and I would apreciate more input ,information, modifications, possible adaptations etc. Along with a little welding, and machine shop capabillity I can cast small aluminium parts (sand casting). I have certainly apreciated all previous input. (Tom S., Charlie Okla, Lester,Vince,Paul R, Jimbo, charles) THANKS!
