Hello Kevin and welcome to HMEM. You are at the right place.
There are engine designs/plans in the Download section and many build logs of various engines th read through on the forum now.
Good luck on finding your first engine to build. My first IC was an Upshur Single Cylinder.

Very nice engine. Sounds real good.
This is my first IC engine and I am using Strictly IC plans also.
Do you have any pictures of your ignition setup? Did you make the block from one piece with front and rear plates?

Keep up the good work. Be glad to see and hear it run.

Brian, I don't post much, I am always looking, reading and trying to learn.
I really enjoy your build logs and really learn a lot. You are an outstanding machinist as well as your CAD and Modeling skills.
Keep up the great work and enjoy.
Watching from the sideline.

Anko, I am really enjoying this build. I have always thought about building one like you are doing. This is great.
Will be watching from start to finish.

Have fun and enjoy what you do, you are the boss.
