]I can never understand it either . Is it the builder knows better and uses whats available not knowing that the ratio has to be near ish
Although some well known designers have goofed in the past just look at ET Westburys version of the Robinson the ratio is badly wrong and he had not appreciated the rather unusual displacer and the cold well  the full size one had and yet published drawings :doh:Thats why the one I started now resides under the bench with the spiders unless it finds a new home
Ah well we live and learn although the older I become the less I know
Just had a good glass breaking day :palm:
Good luck with her .Just love that conrod set up :Doh:

cheers

 Seems, even the engine heirarchy don't realise the laws of physics!  :palm:

Are you teasing test tubes, again?  :loco:

fcheslop:
Oh I breaking test tubes again on the the Ridders Wiggers. Had everything nicely cut then picked up a bit of paper forgetting Id safely wrapped the hot cap in it :palm: they dont bounce
Back to the drawing board
That exhaust pipe you snaffled whats the OD as Im looking for some 1 7/8 for the orphan or may use a barby grill block.
Hit lucky for once and found some heavy walled stainless seamless tubing for the Ryder so should get back on with it shortly and yep still blaming you :D
cheers
