Hi I found some more pictures of the con rods these were turned from 1 inch key steel the big end journal being screwed and silver solderd All the bearings are ball races as this is a working engine not a modell I am trying to get a hard drive to work as most of the pictures are stored in there Regards John |

Hi John, appreciate your sharing pictures and some of the build log with us, particularly on a working engine, as those are all to seldom shown on such a forum, or should I say so seldom done at all, given the ease of just buying a small engine made somewhere else. I am impressed with the numbers, 2 hp at 400 rpm, you are looking for a good bit of torque out of it, I hope it turns out without too many irritating bits and pieces. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing it run, it looks like a good start. :thumbup: mad jack |

Hi After a bit of a traumatic family time i have eventually motovaited my self in to finishing this engine. After meeting Rob Wilson i am converted to casting :) :) :) :) The drawings ask for the trunk guides to be fabricated from iron pipe , bronze castings will be better :) :) :) This is my first attempt at propper pattern making (i dont like wood) Some pices of MDF glued together All turned up and primed Plenty of rubbing down later I must admit i am very pleased Now for the core box Same again MDF (magic wood) glued together boring the hole was interesting It turned out better than expected |
