of Hein - type 2 TRHein #1 - Type 2TR - 36HP Hotbulb / Glühkopf
Recorded: 25/10-2014
Location: Vester Strødam, Denmark
Location: Vester Strødam, Denmark
The engine is produced in the late 1950th. Last owner is Jens Jensen, Knebel, Denmark.
The engine was mounted "used" in a fishing vessel called "Margit" in 1962, which originally was a Swedish boat build at the Swedish shipyard Carl Jönsson in 1927. The lenght of the boat was approx. 30 feet and the weight was brutto 9 tonne and netto 2 tonne.
It was not originally build with an engine. Not until 1932 was an engine added and that was a Hundested.
The boat was scrapped around 1990 but the Hein engine was saved and it is the only known of this special model still existing.
The engine was originally delivered to Ernst Christensen Nørholm, Denmark, in November 1957.
I have had the engine under restoration for the last 10 years.
I would probably not have succeeded if I had not along the way gotten help from Per Rømer. A big thank you to you, Per.
(see Per Rømers Youtube channel here.)
This video is the very first start of the engine. I could not get the engine running in the right direction, which is in clockwise seen from the flywheel. So it is running anticlockwise.
I found out that I have made a mistake with the injection timing. Probably because most engines are running anticlockwise. It will be corrected before I make a new video.
A big thank you to my son Kevin who has assisted me along the way. And not least to my wife Sandra who has taken care of the painting work and the video.
See the many pictures from the restoration process in the picture gallery.
Have fun; it is a salvating sound.

Hein #2 - Type 2TR - 36 HP Hotbulb / Glühkopf
Location: Vester Strødam, Denmark
As written in video #1 I couldn't start the Hein in the right direction of rotation, not by hand nor with compressed air-start.
In the meantime I have corrected the injection timing. Unfortunately not enough, as I still couldn't start the engine by hand in the correct direction of rotation. It did though succeed every time with compressed air-start.
So this video is mostly with the right direction of rotation and therefore a much less noisy run.
At follow up checks of the injection timing it showed 45 degrees, at which pump pistons start to move. But that is not the time where the nozzle opens (high-pressure system).
The correct timing is 35 degrees so I have to redo it again. It is a little difficult, since it has to be done inside the clutch housing through a small inspection hatch.
Hopefully I will make it within this year before it gets too cold to play with engines outside.

Hein #3 - Type 2TR - 36 HP Hotbulb / Glühkopf
Location: Vester Strødam, Denmark
After yet another adjustment of the injection timing I have now finally succeeded in starting the Hein in the correct direction of rotation. After several manual starts I also managed to learn how to handle the start by hand.
During the different adjustments etc. I have also made it clear that the injector doesn't work as it is supposed to. It can't keep the pressure and the return valve also doesn't work.
In other words, the injector doesn't work as intended because of rust and is moreover in such a bad general shape that I don't have the nerve to disassemble it.
I have therefore been searching for a complete replacement-injector, but that failed totally. Nobody knows it. I think it is of manufacture "Bosch" but am not sure. It has been so badly attacked by rust that no description exists on it anymore.
In video #2 you can actually hear the injector dripping. I am continuing the hunt for an replacement-injector.
