Got my latest Home Shop Machinist today and was pleasantly surprised to find the first of a series of build articles for the Bruce MacBeth, 4-cylinder power plant engine. It's a beautiful engine and done without castings, except for the flywheels. I could also see my self building a 3 cylinder version of this engine, like the Fairbanks Morse Model we see floating around from time to time.

http://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/f43/bruce-macbeth-gas-engine-electric-plant-16925/

Pay particular attention to the crankshaft construction. It looks like a fairly easy way to make multicylinder crankshafts with ball bearing mains.

There are plans for this engine and for the IHC 35HP Twin and another upright and the Snow in the book by Doug Kelley.
Unfortunately or for a great deal for unskilled persons wanting an engine, that company from Taiwan? Sterling Kit that builds the IHC model cheap. Maybe they took the plans and now makes them finished and running for around $880? I think they build several models now.
