Hello from England.

[Michael Humphris]

Hi I I’m a just retired time served mechanical engineer who has spent most of the time in either Automation or Engine test facilities.
Having took possession of a bench top lathe and milling machine. and can now use them with some confidence. I’m now looking for a project. What I’m look at is John’s Bogstandard Piston Valve engine from the Paddleducks Furum.
I’ve managed to find plenty of references to it and part of his hand drawings and building instruction. I was hoping someone here might be able to help me find his complete article, Not being completely computer literate and very slow on the keyboard, rather than waste time looking, I thought I would just ask.

Cheers Mike Humphris.

Welcome Mike, great to have you here.
I will have to do a search to see if I can turn up what you are looking for.

....I found this post, which has a link to a webpage, supposedly with drawings.
Does this lead you to what you are looking for ?

Thank you, that will do nicely. Now I can read through the complete book and study the drawings
