Well...it's finished :) Here it is I'm just wondering- do I have to post a picture of the finished engine in the "Finished Projects" section or it's not necessary to do it?

Thanks guys !Well Vince the next step is buying a mill :). There are a lot of great engines I want to build, but maybe I'll try the Mendocino and a two stroke IC first. Yes Brian definitely! The feeling of creating something from just some pieces of metal which subsequently worked is great...

Hi all, I couldn't manage to finish my project so far because I was too busy going on holiday :D The last several days I worked hard on it and it's nearly finished...I hope it will work. I bought the materials for the frame, I made it simple, as it's in the plans, because I couldn't think if...

Well I made some progress. I made a little mistake with one of the holes- I had drilled it on the wrong side of the block so I had to drill it again and ream the hole for the valve one more time just to make sure that the it's smooth. The old hole had to be blocked so I turned a 3,04mm brass...

The so called valve body is almost done. I found an old block of aluminium with similar sizes in the workshop so I'm using it for both the cylinder and the valve body. Cutting the two pieces Then facing the cutted side of the blocks and...so far so good Now the difficult part-...

The valve is almost ready, I made it from an old screw and now it's with slightly bigger diameter, because the hole in the cylinder is not drilled yet.

Thanks for your replies guys. I don't wont you to get me wrong- I'm not complaining and I hadn't thought the work will go smooth all the time, I'm just sharing my experience :) Just wondering about the frame, I don't like the one with the two aluminium plates (as it is in the plans).Thinking...

Well yes, actually I make my mistakes, as you, when I'm in a rush and I'm too excited. Here are some new pictures...and new mistakes ;D You may wonder why there are so many holes in the flywheel, well when I started making the thread I broke the tap.I was wondering how is that posible, I...

Hi all, I'm working on my first engine- an EZ. I choose that engine because I don't have a mill and I wanted something simple to start with. I'm using the metric plans which I downloaded from here. First the flywheel Then the crank, I took a larger piece of aluminium and marked where I...

Hi everyone. I bought my lathe a year ago and I used it for making small and simple things. I hadn’t worked on a lathe before so I have to do simple things in order to learn the basics. There were periods when I just didn’t know what to work on… and here I am, I came across this great site in...
