Recently finished up making a Poppin flame engine. Since seeing one many years ago I have always wanted one.

On completion it started on the second try which surprised me, I was expecting to have to do a bunch of tweaking.

Built pretty much to the plans with only a few exceptions:

Graphite piston, increased to 3/4" from 5/8" on plans
Powder coated cast iron cylinder
Ball bearings rather than bushings.
Tiny Tig fusion weld spots on crank rather than pins
