For what it is worth, don't use ethylene glycol based coolants. I used it on a "closed" system, a V8 with radiator, but I had a slow drip leak that destroyed the polyurethane clear on the oak base. It also deeply stained the oak below the clear. It is also poisonous and an open hopper style...

Sorry if you covered this before, I am intrigued about the Silhouette Plotter Did you get the 3 or 4 model and what material do you use for gaskets? Thank you.

Yea "IT'S ALIVE" !! what a great feeling . "O"scopes and engines my favorite combo. Congratulations!

Thank You. Just Thank You. Somehow I missed page 7 previously. It made for a wonderful Sunday morning read. I think valve seats are the biggest hurdle for the beginner .

Yes looks excellent 12v I assume. Unfortunately copper can't be used for points. Nice coil .

I recently completed a Red Devil with an ignitor and played with point and coil combinations. I recommend tungsten points and fluorescent lamp ballast/s. I ended up with 3 in parallel for ~10 ohm resistance. The ultra low coils did not work well nor did the normal ignition coil primary trick...

Very Very Nice! many more details please. Tire source etc etc etc.

Well I just completed a Red Devil from Shelf Pet Models. It has low tension ignition . After trying different point metals , I settled on tungsten. Iron makes a big spark but erodes fast and guess where that iron spark slag goes. ?? I also tried various coils from a extremely low resistance...

Just for what it is worth, They were used on Model T's and run on 6v positive ground but the polarity doesn't matter. They make an amazing spark! Fuel was iffy back then.

Very impressive. Perhaps this old dog really needs to learn new tricks. Thanks for sharing/motivating.

I really like the True Fuel 40-1 and 50-1, 2 cycle fuel . Available at Home Depot and others. Very long shelf life and also holds up well in model engine tanks. High octane also. Just my 1.414 cents worth.

Fantastic!!! On the 4th of July no less, now you can declare independence from purchased or un obtainable rings. Now that is sticking with it! Congratulations.

That is beautiful. It needs a clear lexan valve cover IMO. Thanks as always for sharing .

Thanks again for sharing . Beautiful.

Well that is very embarrassing, I am a BAEM member , currently the president. I didn't think to check all the crank calls issues. There is a lot of info in those old issues/emails. Thanks to all that responded. Any one have plans??? I like it it all, steam/air/ Stirling / I.C. Paul.

Thanks The piston is bronze and has an oil retention groove so steam it is I guess.

It is I.C. I am fairly sure it has a cam and head ports.

The age sounds right, Dwight gave it to me and he is 87.

I was given these mystery bronze castings yesterday. No plans . No info. Piston is .725 diameter? any info appreciated. Nice main casting. Marine engine ?? Thank you.

I always appreciate your beautiful work and and your explanations of problems and solutions. I have just 1 question, You use a lot of ball end mills. Do you have a favorite suppler / brand? Thank you.
