Austin, thank you for adding the explanatory notice. Everyone: Like Marv already mentioned, this was unexpected for everyone. Kind regards, Arnold

Gents, you can download the plans as follows: The original one from OldBoatGuy (Gerry) with imperial drawings here Ken I's metric plans for the engine is here Regards, Arnold

:o Going by Fancy's size that's a BIG engine Ron - good going Thm: Unfortunately I can't comment on the colour scheme; I seem to get stuck at dark blue and shiny bare metal bits :big: Kind regards, Arnold

This is a great method and works well. I have one of those cheap 'n cheerful cross-vises mounted on my drill press, and regularly use this method when cross-drilling round stock on the DP. The cross-vise makes things easy to adjust. At one point I used my 6" rule for this, but ran into problems...

That's a very valid point you raised Jerry :bow: It's one of those things one tend to forget - I'm fortunate in that my eye doctor (he's not just an optician) is not of the robotic kind, but takes an active interest in his patients. He is very well aware of my modelling exploits and that I'm...

That looks just dandy Brian Thm: Oh yes - Happy Birthday ! Kind regards, Arnold

Glad you enjoyed the Namibian stop-off on your cruise Gerrit Thm: - and some really nice write-up on your blog! The lichens are amazing to see - as you mentioned. I've grown up here, but it's still a treat to make a stop off and splash some water on a patch and see it "come to life". And yes...

The valves DO look nice Vince :bow: Kind regards, Arnold

;D There you go Stan - Well done! Looking forward to the finished engine Thm: Kind regards, Arnold

Hi Stan ;D With scenes like that it's obvious that I can't possibly be mentioned ;D :big: Thank you Jim, that's very kind of you to say, but #1 is non-arguably, most definitely, and non-negotiably vastly OTT! . You do get the option of a free stay in Windhoek with full board in my...

;D So THAT's what's wrong with it... The rest of the MP crew is missing ;D John, I'm aware of the - shall we say "normality" - that's found in the UK; in fact I quite enjoy a lot of it :) 9 years in my early career spent providing IT user support at our national broadcaster to the whole range...

There's something wrong in this video clip, but I can't quite put my finger on what exactly... Members sensitive to bagpipe "music" might want to mute their speakers before playing ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8rzkCkFIus&feature=player_embedded Arnold

Exquisite final result Ramon :bow: :bow: Thank you for taking us along on the journey! Kind regards, Arnold

The cylinder looks great so far Ed Thm: The 1/2" end mill should work just fine for rounding over - just do it with light cuts. Kind regards, Arnold

Hi Stan I took a bit of time before replying because I wanted to give the plans a bit of a study. The valve faces must be very flat and parallel, as must be the inside of the valve housing and the face of the crankcase against which the valve runs to minimise blow-by This might sound like a...

:o :o Couldn't put it better myself! Kind regards, Arnold

::) These are still on my to-build list... Don't know when though :big: Kind regards, Arnold
