Cheers Lads

Bin a bit distracted from this over the last couple of weeks:- short holiday domestic duties etc.

But I cobbled it together:- lot of the nuts and bolts left off so things are not sealed and I didn't fit the flywheel, but I still tested it on air and it ran




Next job strip it down fit give it a paint job and a base and a few other button and bells.

Cheers

Very nice Stewart  :thumbup:

I'm guessing that that's reving rather faster than the full scale one would  :scratch:

Yes its going a lot faster I had to turn the pressure up to compensate for all the leaks and lack of fly wheel, hopefully I can run it slower when I get it assembled correctly. In the mean time her's a vid of the real thing running.

Here is another vid, with the fly wheel fitted with the second main bearing and all the nuts and bolts in place.

Here's the completed engine.
