It all began when brothers, David and Thomas Kirkham, were restoring their own Cobra, SX3104. At the same time, a relative bought and imported a Polish fighter jet and invited them to see this relic of the Cold War. "As the brothers looked at the airplane, they couldn't help but notice the striking similarities between it and CSX3104. They wondered if the people who built the plane could build an exact replica of a Cobra. They found the name of the manufacturer and sent them a fax. The simple note they scribbled read, "Can you guys build an aluminum bodied car?" Within 12 hours, they received he reply, "No problem." "A week later, David was on an airplane to Warsaw with an English-Polish dictionary, a toy model of a Cobra, and a dream. He spent a week scouting the factory and exploring their manufacturing abilities. He saw a silent factory with idle machines. The enormous factory had produced aircraft for over 60 years. During the tour, David knew this was the place he wanted to build cars. After meeting with three generations of skilled craftsmen eager to make these cars, he forged some agreements and left filled with high expectations and enthusiasm. "Since that trip over 10 years ago, Kirkham Motorsports has become one of the leading manufacturers in the component car industry. At the inception of the company, KM focused on building the most accurate replicas in the business. Kirkham Motorsports still offers incredibly accurate replicas, but technology and manufacturing techniques have evolved since the 1960s. KM is an engineering focused company and has been able to push the performance envelope without forgetting originalty." [From the Kirkham Motorsports web site] Kirkham Motorsports is located at 2575 W. 1680 N. in Provo, UT, and their phone is 801-377-8224. We'll rendezvous there at 10am, and have lunch at a nearby after the session. If anyone would like to car pool or travel together, contact me at 801-547-1087 or spitfiresrule at msn.com.

Turning the motor over by hand is fairly slow, allowing air to leisurely make its way through the end gaps of the piston rings. So you are going to get quite low readings. But the fact you did get some sort of compression readings instead of 0 indicates that nothing is horribly wrong. I don't know what sort of leakdown test you ran and what 'yellow' and 'green' actually mean, so I can't offer any valid comments on that. But it sounds like you are making progress, and we might see the car at British Field Day this summer. mjb.

Is this > an indication that something is horribly wrong? How long has this engine been sitting? I ask because the rings need a tiny splash of oil to seal, and if the engine has sat for some months the oil has all drained away, the rings are dry, and they're not sealing much. You could squirt a little oil in each cylinder and run the compression test again. Note that this will give you an artificially high reading, but since you're only concerned about confirming that you assembled the engine correctly, this would get you a little peace-of-mind. Also, the numbers we toss around (120 psi) are somewhat relative, and are what you'd expect to see when the starter spins the engine with no spark plugs in. If you're not spinning the engine at least this fast by hand, the compression readings will be low. The fact that you see any compression at all tells me that the engine will probably run. I'd concentrate on that, then after you've run it up to temperature and maybe taken it around the block once, do the compression test again.

The bendix has a gear with an internal worm drive-gear that causes the gear to slide out against the retracting spring and engage the ring gear when the starter motor spins. The drive may be jammed/stuck, WD-40 might free it up. Sometimes the teeth on the bendix or the ring gear get worn or broken and the tapered relief on the engaging faces of the teeth has a flat spot and the gear slides out and stops against the end of the ring gear instead of sliding into mesh, and the motor will just spin. Bumping/rocking the car in gear will rotate the ring gear to a new contact area. Maybe this will help.
