Well, after changing my mind 14,319 times, I decided on the PMR #3 which came today. It is my first kit so have nothing to compare it with but I am impressed with the quality of the castings. Next comes studying the drawings to decide where to begin, first thought is the base.

Thanks to everyone for your comments/suggestions. Ted
 
Lovely looking little engine.
Although I think studs and hex nuts or small hex bolts would look so much better than slot head screws.
That’s just a personal taste thing.
Good luck building it and keep us posted.
Don’t beat yourself up if you make mistakes.
 
Lots of YouTube video on machining, My first engine we did not have YouTube, I just went by the plans and had to figger out stuff.
I ran on to this on you tube.
