hello again out there, i have looked at Rays book and some video's on some of his engines. there are apparently 12 sets of plans for his different engines, question, in one video i saw a small one 12 inches in height , are some of the vertical designs small units for a 7 foot tug? or must i...

hello , i thank all of you for your input,i will most certainly look ray up. I do plan on learning via some smaller projects, i will start by making some aluminum grooved pullys, i plan on also building a miniature search light out of brass or copper, drilling some precision holes, using messure...

Hello Jason , Thanks for your imput, you say buy the drawings from Stuart, ok. I have several plans, i really don't want to buy plans from Stuart, i have one plan for a large steam engine but it has no reverse gear indicated its 8 inches long 7 inches in height, bore of the hp cylinder is 1 1/4...

Hello I thank you kindly for your reply, i want to mill grooved pulleys and use round non toothed belts the dia. of each will be 1/2, 3/4, 1 inch with a 1/8 wide tapered groove in the middle with sloted v angle on the inside so the belts grab. and mill the centre holes for the motor shafts at...

Thanks for your advice. On engines. i do not plan on building a Diesel engine, but have owned about ten of them. I do have a question outside of model engine building. I am going to mill some mini gear pulleys and also i am going to build a mini metal cuting table saw. I need too mill a mandrel...

i guess i should understand that two people in here are pickers, first i always level my lathe, second regarding black smoke you did not read what i stated, and yes i have worked on some big towboats and yes we do run glowplugs up north here longer then thirty seconds. you missed what i stated...

hello pete, now i havs a name, thats workable! I don't blame you for your disbelief. You mentioned you never heard of Conley, odd, you have never heard of the Conley V8/mini engine, he just v brought out a blower kit for his 12000.00$ v8.

i will respond to the above, no actually i am not blowing smoke as you call it, ans yes indeed i have built engines, but real ones as opposed to model engines, if you do not believe me, then ask mr Conley. I took a auto mechanics course the books used for the course are indepth and cover the...

another commentary. Subject: Regarding Straight Cylindee Bores in Model Engines. I like Ringed engines, i also like or prefer cylinder liners as opposed to a straight bore, pressed cylinder liners are used for example by OS and K&B usually of brass nicol, did i spell that right? the nice thing...

hello all again. i have great admiration for those attempting to build a multi cylinder Diesel engine, as the tollerences are much higher then a gas or steam engine in some respects. those machinists whom are having troubles with fuel atomization due to the fact that the diesel fuel for such a...

Thank you kindly for the information, i was aware, that many model engines have a straight bore. steam engines do, but the idea is to build enough compression to explode the vaperizing fuel. i have a few articals on those building diesel engine models, they have problems with injectors working...

Well thank you all for your information. I spoke with the little machine shop about the pup engine. a mill is required, i am looking into that right now. regarding education on a tapered bore i will explain. ALL car engines, diesel engines have a tapered bore in the cylinder as the piston moves...

Hello, thank you, we live in Canada. I thank you for your email. No I have not built a model engine ever. But am more then able to. I just need to familiarize my self with the tooling for my 7 by 14 lathe and the appropriate cutting tools and various measuring instruments And the pup.plans...

Hello out there. Regarding the Panther pup engine. Is a Vertical Mill absolutely required ,or can I get away with just a Lathe? I saw photo's of the castings for the pup engine, which included two parts I could not recognize in there unmilled state, the two a flywheel and a timing chain cover...
