  • I got my hands on this little beauty and let me tell you it's pretty much the favorite small engine I now own. It's really damn cool. The way it blows the little smoke rings and the way it sounds and smells, you have to own one.

    It's a beautiful engine, the base mod is perfect. I replaced all the pipes with copper pipe, and propper brass fittings to get rid of the ugly blue Pne fittings. The engine as supplied is great, but modification is the fun of the engine. Great Video AJ :)

    Do these engines make any usable power, could they be use to light a tent, or charge batteries? Id like to build my own from scratch around 4-5 litres. Operating at 40-50 RPM to 500-600(+/-) with two cylinders in a boxer style engine. Rocking a 8" bore(6" at least) with a 12"-16" stroke. With the #2 cylinder being two cycles behind, #1 intake , when the piston is compressed, and fires #2 starts intake as both pistons are moving down. Make the crank from pieces heat shrank together and pinned or welded. Use three 20" long bits of 3" square bar hand forged if required to make a 4" wide 2" thick throw for the crank, with a 6" wide x 2" thick counter weight on the end with a hole on center made by drift, without removing material. Making a roughly 1.875-1.900" hole, with another 12"-16" at the end. With the hole starting about 1.5" from the end make a set of 15"-18" rods similarly, from 1" plate. with a .875"-
    .900" hole at the opposite end. Mill
    .120" from the center of each side leaving .300" minimum on tge edges. Cut the cap off drill for 3/8"-7/16" threads and a dowel using rod bolts . Maybe leaving room on the ends outside the bolt for 1/8" dowels .700" long with .300 to fit in tfe cap. The rods holding 1" wide bearings close to 2" diameter.with the main bearings being the same size. Using a oil pump to send oil from the main bearings to the rod bearings. Through the rod to the pin bushing. Squirting the piston cooling it and oiling the rings. a roughly .030"-
    .035" hole in the top of the rod squirting oil. With a brass bushing around 1.25" diameter, with a bushing in the piston and the rod. With the bushings swedged in place and honed to size. A 1/16" hole drilled through the rod. The rod journals interference fitted with .005" pressed on hot with the journal cold then 3 1/4" holes drilled and tapped, in the seam area, and
    .750" grub screws tq.ed in place. At 120° around the rod journal. Then a 5/8" hole drilled through the rod journals. With a 3/16" hole drilled 1/8" from the center hole at a angle to start breaking throttle the center of the bearing , drill a 1/8" hole .250" deep eith the hole ending up about .220" chamfered. The hole in the end of the journal having a fitting sized steel brake line braised / silver soldered to it. With the tube going into the main journal with similar oil passages. With a
    .030" deep x .120" wide groove in it with .003" clearance with a .100" thick pair of brass washers between the main cap and crank. One with about 100 .030" holes connected by a .040" x .040" groove. To allow oil between the washers. acting as thrust bearings. And helping seal the oil in the bearing (or controlling the leak) with another holy washer and a .250" thickwashr. That has .003"-.004" clearance, and two m5 bolts holding it to the outside of the main. With the holy washer between it and the bolt retained washer. the bolts only keep it in place with one bolt in the cap one in the web/Sattle. It being
    .750" thick fron the opening to the edge. Wirh the holes in the edge .300" on center from the edge. Working to control the oil preventing the seal from leaking. Using a chevy v8 oil pump running at about 8:1 under drive. With a remote oil filter. Only bypass in emergency. With a over under pressure switch. With the cylinders bolting on the crank case. With the crank case being 1.135" thick in the important areas, joined with webbed .250"-.380" walls. The outside having the webbing, the inside smooth. With a bolt on sump. And a split case. The bottom looking like a engine unpside down. With the cover off. The cover bolting on at the cylinders then a flat cover seals the crank on both ends . The cover made from .300" thick webbed aluminum, like two u shapes turned 90° and put together. Leaving room for the crank in the middle. Then end plates closing the area around the crank. End plates .300" thick x 1" wide with dowels and.1/4" bolts with 1/8" webbing meeting at a 1" thick circle where the crank goes , it is boreed out, for the crank, then milled for the seal. The 1/4" bolt holes recessed to allow a bracket to nolt on to run accessories. The 12" x 4" thick flywheel, machined to allow a SBC flywheel to bolt on and use a chevy starter. Cast either iron cylinders or aluminum cylinders with a iron sleeve. With an aluminum head with 15" head studs 6-8 per cylinder. Eith four 1/4" bolts per cylinder also holding the cylinder to the crank case. The crank case can use a bore from around 4.500" ? to 10"+ (11.375" +/-) the small bore may require a crosd slide piston

    If you look at the curved spokes of Any stationary engine, like the Blackstones for example- the curved spokes of the flywheel ALWAYS are fitted so the spokes chop into the air the opposite way round!
