Hope to see ya all at the show

I sent you a PM

I grew up in Wapakoneta, I own property that borders the Armstrong museum..........it was a great experience

Wow is that nice! I see we must at least think somewhat alike.....the longer bushing in the out board support....

Will run it on air. As I said, am I over thinking this. I wanted to run a sleeve with an aluminum piston to help get some weight off the reciprocal assembly. Try and keep the rod /piston/yoke from hammering itself

Correct, steam engine. Elmer calls for a brass (ringless) piston in an unsleeved aluminum cylinder. I will run it on compressed air

Ok cast iron it is, but please tell me why no leaded steal? Trimble style rings....what are they? Where do I get them? How much piston to bore clearance? What size is the bore in relation to the ring size, i.e. .750 rings, .751 +/- .001 ?? Please enlighten me

As a professional machinist I have never built a "model engine ", I have built several alcohol injection Hemis, but that's a different story.... So as I am (not so) patiently waiting for my new milling machine to arrive ( apparently $6k just adds your name to the list of people already waiting)...

Our venue is the wonderful national auto & truck museum, in Auburn Indiana (natmus.org) Our new website is Indiana Engine Show and we will continue to update this along with our Facebook Our Facebook Indiana model engine show Here is a short video of 2023. We hope to see you there. And...
