...model engine. So far, I've managed to gather some materials: Lump on the left, that says 48, is pearlitic cast iron, besides are two smaller pieces hacked out of it. Next is a 28mm(1.102") brass bar. Aluminum piece is 50x50mm(~2"x2") bar. At the front are two thin walled (0.2mm(0.0078"))steel tubes, that are going to be tested as cylinder liners. They definitely need a cylinder body to support them. |

That piece of aluminum looks like what's left of a "meat tenderizer". :lol: Nice collection of raw stock. Am I right in asuming it's going to be two cylinder? Bernd |
| sorveltaja:
Bernd, yes it's going to be 2 cylinder, 4 stroke v-engine. I'm considering making overhead valves, as there could be a bit more room to adjust them. I prefer side valves more, but at this small scale they are rather difficult, although possible to adjust, as on my previous test engine. Anyway, there's still lot of things to figure out on the design :smart:. |

Coolio. Love V-twins. Is it going to be a narrow twin (ala harley, S&S) or a L-twin (like Ducati?) Eric |
| NickG:
Nice 1 S, This should be very interesting to watch develop much like your previous engine. Nick |
