Book of plans for small internal combustion and steam engines

[Brian Rupnow]

I'm looking for a good book of plans to build small bore (-1") steam and /or gasoline engines. This is going to be a Christmas gift from myself to myself. I don't want a book of "basic" plans, as I have these books and have built any number of small engines. Not looking for train plans, I want stationary engines. I've tried googling what I want, but Google has become so loaded down with crap that I can't find anything. All suggestions are welcome.----Brian

Brian,

Take a look at "The Engines of Doug Kelley" published by Village Press. Well designed and good runners. Not basic at all.

Brian, what are the titles of the books you already have for basic plans for I.C. engines? I would be interested in finding those on Amazon.

I have "The Shop Wisdom of Phillip Duclos" and will do a search for "The Engines of Doug Kelley"

I have the Doug Kelly book.
His engines and plans are pretty darn awesome. Friend of mine built the Bruce McBeth engine. I modeled a lot of it in Creo.
Changed a few things. His engines are not really for beginners.
