Pipe and Bolt Engine Mod-Up
premodern:
I am impressed with what can be accomplished with common materials and minimal tools. I sometimes think that we under estimate what can be accomplished using skilled bench work techniques. In ages past, a model engineer often had a workbench, vise, saw, files and if he were fortunate, a pillar drill. I believe that there is great value for beginners to start with only these tools before immediately leaping to the lathe or mill. Well done.

Thats it I am calling that finished.
I will make a hook for it and hang it from the roof of my workshop where it will most likely gather dust and be thrown away by my kids when I move on to the big workshop in the sky hopefully many years from now :D

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :clap: Gee I knda hope your kids will play with it/hook something up to it! :dremel: I still love the cam, nail and spring valve action. Dwayne I can see how your inlet valve operates, how does your exhaust valve work?
shipto:
:Doh: I forgot to retake the picture of the valve, did take one but it was all out of focus. basically the valve in the up position opens the airway to allow it into the cylinder then as it drops to the down position it shuts off the air and a channel allows air inside the piston to vent out.
done a crude closeup the vent channel is tiny but just about visible. The hole in the top is how I did the ?rebate? to sit the rubber "o" ring to seal the airway.
