I have been in contact with Lance at Liney Machine
http://lineymachine.googlepages.com/
Later on in the year, I will be building a Liney Halo, to get the cobwebs out of my new shop, and Lance has given permission to directly link to the help pages for this engine.
The engine is designed for CNC machining, but I will be doing it manually.
It doesn't need to be the five cylinders, it can be built as any number from 1 to five, with some very easy maths calculations.
The machinery required would be a lathe, miller, three & four jaw chucks and a rotary table with a chuck mounted.
I will not be showing any plans, except for layout procedures, Lance has a living to make, so I would expect you to purchase at least the plans.
Radial complete $1500
Radial kit: $100
Radial plans: $35
These are the prices he charges, the kit includes all the raw materials and bits to make a 5 cylinder radial engine. He even sells very reasonably priced taps of very good quality. All the threads are just one size 2-56, and the supplied fasteners are all good quality stainless cap screws, with a few countersunk heads, all different lengths. I have attached a scan of the fittings kits, even the tubing connectors and the correct ballraces are included.
The plans come as a ring bound booklet with acetate overlays, and the quality is great, with all dimensions in imperial.
Just look at the price for a finished engine. Just think, enjoy doing the build, then have something that is worth a fair bit when finished.
If enough people are interested I will catalogue the build in my usual step by step descriptive way. If not, you will just see the build as it progresses.
