Don't bother trying to make it run, Chuck.  :scratch:

It looks perfect, just standing still!  :thumbup:   :D

At this point I'm thinking about changing the whole valving arrangement to something more conventional.

Thanks, David.  Even though it will spend most of it's life on the shelf where I can look at it, I would still like to hear it run...

John Hill:
Hmmm, the cylinders appear to have a quite small diameter and the effective surface area of the pistons is further reduced by the cross section of the central bar so I think this would be a 'high pressure' engine. 

I am sure you will get it running. :thumbup:

cfellows:
Thanks, John.  The cylinder bore is 3/4" and the central rod is 3/8". 

I did get the engine running!  Here's a short video...

Still got some air leaks to fix but I know where they are and how to fix them.  Also gotta build the base.
