WW2 Japanese engine

Those are not true diesels, a lot of model aero engines are termed diesels but are better refered to as compression ignition engines. I expect the OS engien has ABC cylinders and a ringed piston which may not give the compression needed for this type of diesel to work.

There are very few models or true diesels due to the problems of making small scale injectors and pumps to give the high pressures needed.

Yeah, I read about about how extremely difficult it would be to make a small diesel, but I figured since the page listed it as a "Diesel Converter" I would just say diesel and keep it simple. But thanks for looking out for me.

Your other problem with those heads is they are for a 2-stroke and that OS engine is 4 stroke

It is not a Diesel, but the Holt engine in the link posted by Henry in post #13 is an awesome looking and running with terrific sound. It is even water cooled. Here is a video of one running.
