The engine now has a home.




I had an old kitchen cabinet that I mounted on the shop wall but hadn't decided what to put in it yet.
I cut out the center of the door and put in a piece of plexiglass.
I still have room above for something else but it will have to be small.

Way to go Ray. Congrats. You build a unique, running engine in about the same amount of time it takes me to draw the head!

I really like seeing engines come together and run well.
I have had a number of false starts on engine builds, where things never came together, and the build failed.
I have only succeeded with on engine (so far), and so I really appreciate those who make it look so easy.

Great work, and a nice sounding/looking engine !

Just excellent work!
Despite the ""Unconventional balancing strategy" you have overcome all that and made it work well. - That is Engineering!
And usually, a "model" is an example for us to understand your ideas. So you have truly made and Engineering Model!
