The valve ports were machined on my Axminster mill drill . This has been replaced by a Warco 626 mill

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
