The final picture of the engine with it's black cap on.


Thanks to everyone that followed along and commented.

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 an Engineering Model!

Not only can you claim museum qualities in your builds but bringing an obscure design to life is an exception to standard I/C engines. Does the forum still have Model of the Month recognition?

Longboy thank you, that is very nice of you to say but there are many other builders on this forum that put me to shame.
