Got some work done since the last post.  Here are some pics of the timing gears.  The two larger ones are 40DP, 24 teeth, 1/8" thick and about 6.5" OD.  The smaller gears are on the 3/8" rod and haven't been parted off yet.  They will be 12 teeth and are .35" OD. 



One of the 12 tooth gears will be loctited onto the crankshaft and drive a 24 tooth gear below it.  The 24 tooth gear will be ganged to a 12 tooth gear, which will, in turn, drive the other 24 tooth gear which turns freely on the crankshaft.  The double lobed cam will be attached to the second 24 tooth gear on the crank and will turn at 1/4 the RPM of the crankshaft.

I have an idea for an engine... Might work well with your valve design... Hmmm...

Hey Chuck,

Just found this build, beautiful and intriguing work.  I aspire to make something as nice as engines someday.
