Hi guys haven't been on for a while so just caught up. Thanks once again for the kind comments - much appreciated. Jason clicking the image takes you to the finished work - this will take you to the build -http://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/f31/super-tigre-g32-1cc-diesel-5cc-version-17674/...

Hang on in there Brian - I'm sure Austin will fix it for you as soon as he can Thm: Regards - (somewhat embarrassedly) Ramon

Congrats Brian , very nice work indeed - and lovely work on that base too. Thm: Enjoy your moment Regards - Ramon

Hi Guy's As my 'five mins of fame' draws to a close just to say it has been a priviledge to see the Tigres sitting there when I've visited. A final thank you then for your kind comments and to say - for those that asked to be informed over on the build thread - the article on the trials and...

Hi guys -this is a nice surprise. I haven't been on here for a while and Jason pointed it out to me so have only just caught up. I feel very priviledged to be considered but to be chosen, in the face of so many attractive models and projects that surround us all on here on a monthly basis is...

Dave - haven't been on here for a week or two so have missed 'all the action'. Having now reset everything I would just like to say good luck with whatever you do in the future and thank you for your constant support in the short time I have been a member. Maybe not the right place but thanks...

Revised drawing of original upload.

Hi Guy's, thank you for your kind words and sentiments. Today has been rather flat, I must confess :( - nothing to look forward too to report other than to say the engines are cleaned, oiled and boxed ready for an opportunity to arise to take them somewhere to give them a good run without the...

Here are a few pics of the finished engines as decribed in Work in Progress. This shows one engine against a photo of the original little 1cc owned by Ernesto Pizzi. It was from the images Ernesto took for me and all the dimensions he provided that this became a viable project so I am...

Hi Guys - thanks as ever for all your kind comments, it's certainly nice to hear that the time spent is appreciated. Thanks for understanding re the article - I don't know exactly when but it should not be too long. Jason , I don't know a source these days, just as you suspect I have had mine...

Hi guys, thanks for the response, nice to hear from you. Thanks for the insight into your methods 'RK'. I particularly like the sound of doing the piston and contra piston in one hanging though does this not mean you have to leave the top of the liner tighter to get the interference fit...

Hi guys, pleased to tell - it's been a good day ;) for that old cliche that you can learn something most days is not to be dismissed lightly and today was certainly a good one for it to ring true. Began by making those contra pistons. These can be tricky little things to make not just in...

Morning Guys I should point out Stew that this is not the kind of fit I'd be looking for on a steam engine - that would have to be much better :big: :big: Model diesels by their very nature rely on good compression to perform well not to mention start well. Given the basic kit at my disposal...

Hi Guys - glad to see that that was of use to you ;) I would just add that by being able to turn either type to the size required and with a good finish gives a good start to the process. Well the pistons have now been machined and successfully lapped to the liners. Always a tense period as...

Hi Mike, how are you doing? - very well indeed going by your latest Thm: Thm: Very, very nice work Mike it'll look good beside that McOnie. Enjoy your break from the lathe - Ramon

Hi Bill - sure thing. I see I missed a bit out ::) and haven't made the soldering part clear either. I also forgot to mention it is turned before use ::) ::). You have the basics but I just remembered doing some pics for a similar question on the ME forum when describing the Etas - perhaps...

Hi Brock, congrats on getting your engine running Thm:. Re the needle yes that's what the split is for though its not a very efficient way of restricting a needle from turning as with time it wears and loosens. Seen some pretty manked up NV's over time where they've been squeezed with pliers...

Good to see it run Brock, it'll get more consistent I'm sure, certainly sounds nice ;) Glow motor next? Regards - Ramon

Nice teamwork guys and a really super result - congratulations on a deserving model. Ramon
