Fairbanks Morse R80 Three Cylinder Engine

[weir-smith]

I am currently well on the way to build an airblast diesel engine and as a result, I am looking to the next project. I have seen on this forum, completed models of the Fairbanks Morse R80 three cylinder gas engine or similar. My question is, does anyone know where drawings or technical information can be sourced?
I can do just so much from photos etc and I do all of my own cad drawings but there are some aspects of the engine that need some technical input.

I have never had anything to do with gas engines and how they work so again any help there would be appreciated.

The original castings came from Bob Bromps of Pacific Model Design, long since out of business.
Antique Powerland, south of Portland OR has one that runs on a regular basis.

Thanks Dave, I am reasonably sure that I have seen it at one of the model engineering shows on Youtube. I can scale reasonably well from photos however, it is the fuel system that has me puzzled. As the engine will run on either petrol or kero, I am assuming that there will need to be some form of igniter I am hoping that someone will be able to provide some guidance.
