Congratulations!
I have been watching your posts and waiting to see this run.
I am impressed by the result and I have enjoyed your skillful build. But more than that, I admire the stick-to-it-ive-ness you have had to result in the completion.
Thank You for posting all of it.

what a beauty. Well done.
No, a propeller is dangerous, the engine would still need some aesthetic improvements ,but I'm saturated, I won't touch it again
The next engine will be with 2 cylinders maximum.

I really like the valve covers. Are they 3D printed plastic, or are they cast like some of the other parts?
Also is the raised container on the right-hand side in the video, is that the fuel tank or something else?

The cover are 3D printed, plastic (PLA) .
2 pieces glued together and painted, I had thought about making aluminum castings, too much work, in 2 nights the printer made all 6 pieces . The drawing took more time.
Yes it is a petrol tank, even if it looks like an old aqueduct tank ...
Very pretty rocker covers. And fuel tank and tower. Both add interest. Well done!
