Ron Colona's Offy. I lost all of my solidworks files for it in a mishap so I went back to working on the K5 especially after obtained the Monarch as most of the K5 is turned at one point or another.

Hi,

This is a very nice and professional project! I would be interested in purchasing a completed engine! By the way, is there anyone who made supplemtal drawings to create the Kinner B5 on the basis of the K5?

My Kinner K5
Hi guys. I am from South Africa and want to start working on my Kinner from the same plans as Greg. Problem- I can not get hold of the screws/bolts/nuts for the engine. Can any of you help with names of suppliers or a way I can import them?
Regards
Johan.

Why insist on the same screws? There are metric parts that have the same sizes, within a few thousands of an inch. There are many tables on the web listing these. I found this one http://www.engineeredpartsinc.com/pdf/metric-conversions.pdf

Thanks in anticipation

Just went back through this. I've been working on this engine for over 10 years now. I have a little bit more done than what I've already shown here, but I had an accident with my lathe that damaged it while trying to repair the motor drive system. I just finished fixing it up after 7 years of back burner.

I'm going through my old plans now and trying to figure out where I left off and start working on this again. Hope I don't forget too much of what I was doing.

Here's where I'm at currenty:

My inspiration and the original from my youth, the engine in my grandfather's (Lloyd "Jim" Butler) collection:

Looking good, Greg.
Maybe you already are aware of this link. Ken built the Kinner among other engines & took some build pics along the way. I think there is also a video link in there somewhere of it running. http://modelicengine.la.coocan.jp/kinner index.htm

Thanks,

I have seen that and look back at it to compare notes from time to time.

Wow, that looks like a lot of very nice work so far!

 

[gpcoe]

Made a little progress. Made the oil pump housing, cover and some of the fittings. Quite a bit of work went into the oil pump, setup wise. In particular a very hairy offset turning setup.

 

[gpcoe]

It was a lot of work, but I finally finished a set of 10 valves!! Machined from 303 in stepped fashion.

Also finished a set of wrist pin and master rod pins to complete the crank assembly!

 

[petertha]

Beauties!

Very nice workmanship.
