Thank you all for your comments :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :nrocks:
Getting the engine running was just what i needed ,,, put a smile on my face :) ,,,, been feeling really ruff the past few weeks and Doc says to slow up :bang: :bang: :bang:
--- Quote from: cidrontmg on October 07, 2010, 04:46:49 PM ---Thatīs a lovely big engine. It seems there will be a water pump attached, not yet built. That will move some serious amounts of water. How big is the thing (HxLxW) approximately? Flywheel dia? I guess itīs not a project for a Myford, let alone a Sherline...

The engine can be built on a myford/boxford lathe ,,, thats what i used :dremel: ,,overall dimension H18'' L14'' W 7'' and the F/W is 9'' dia and there is a water pump to be made .
Cheers Rob
