| Ross:
The metal arrived for the flywheels, so I set about making a couple! Roughed out. Then onto the mandrel to skim the o/d I went to drill the holes for the grubs crews, and I managed to snap the crap vice I was using on the pillar drill! Here is the final mock up! the crankshafts need to be faced slightly shorter. Not sure weather to leave the flywheels plain, I quite like them as they are now. Ive already test ran the engine! too much air pressure is getting through as I cant control it very well with the attachment I'm I need to find something where I can have full control over the air going into the engine. |

Nice 1 Ross, I quite liked the look of the Plain flywheel on this engine too so I left it. Would definitely look better with a recess on the outside though. I like the look of the crank poking through too. The poppin flame licker was designed like that. Did it run then or was there too much air. If there's too much sometimes they stop as there's still forward force on the piston when it's trying to exhaust. |

Hi Ross. That looks "compact". Well done on getting a runner! :clap: :clap: For valves etc, have a look on ebay, for aquarium air line supplies. :thumbup: David D |
