Hey Swen, any chance of some happy snaps of your engine?

Hi guys, I’ve been riding Harleys for 30 years, I have a replica engines 1/5 scale knuckle head engine , see pic and they are great little runners. Does anyone have the flathead (sidevalve) engine drawings at all? I’d love to have a go a building one. Thank you.

Hey Than, it seems that you are rapidly becoming the miniature Diesel engine guru!! Good on ya.

Hey Than, don’t underestimate yourself mate. Look at the little Diesel. You built that from scratch using your own design, and it worked!! Even if you build the Hassock and it doesn’t run at first. I’m sure that your determination will help get you through!! Oh btw wishing you and your family a...

You love to do the hard ones don’t you Than 😂

I just cannot wait to hear this beast run!!!

Unless there is some sort of sentimental connection to it or if you have a specific urge to rebuild, I think she’s due for the scrap yard.

I wish that we had these sort of expos in Australia. It would be awesome.

Free stainless?? You lucky fella! I pay a fortune for mine.

Hey Than, I’m impressed with that little diesel! You showed a lot of courage and confidence building. Not may guys, even very experienced builders are willing to tackle a diesel. Well done!

A very nice car mate, as long as you aren’t planning any interstate trips 😃

Hey Brian, I had to laugh. A couple of weeks ago you were saying that you were over building engines for awhile. Haha so much for that. Once the bug has you, it won’t let go in a hurry. Love the new engine btw.

You might find kero is easier to find in your country than others mate. For example kero is quite expensive over here in Australia as it’s only available in 1 or 2 litre bottles. It used to be available at the bowser in service stations years ago but it’s not used all that much here anymore.

Sounds like something the Irish would do 😜

Hi Than, I don’t have the time to build anything at the moment, unfortunately! However if you do edit your drawings I might be interested in getting a copy for use in the future. Cheers

Hey, it’s a prototype and a miniature diesel mate. Give yourself some credit Than, there are a lot of model engine builders out there that wouldn’t have a go at building a production diesel, much less build one to their own specs (albeit with alot of good advice from this forum) and get it to...

Well don Than! I had no doubt that you would get the girl running, but she looks and sounds great. You’re a talented man mate👍

There is something seriously wrong with the leftist weirdos in California, or all the blue states actually. Banning home generators?? What drugs are these idiots on. The whole climate change thing is a joke. They had to change the name from global warming to climate change when they realised...
