    Bonza hit and miss engine designed by John Williams

    Drawing updates arrived this afternoon in good fashion Jim, thank-you for keeping me(us) in mind. I've sent you a private email as well. All the new pages have been accounted for and replaced in my files, along with the addendum sheet for future references. Well done. BC1 Jim

    Howdy Guys!

    That may very well be true Rick, but the man is from *taxes* and EVERYBODY in taxes owns and/or carries a ridiculously large firearm and washes down their breakfast food with Lone Star. ;D The other stuff, well, I guess he just doesn't know what he is missing out on.:fan: TallyHO! BC1 Jim...

    Gas line repair (I hope...)

    I would hope that better judgement will prevail here. There are reasons why copper is not used for buried gas line installations, other than the cost. It would serve you better to bite the bullet and do the excavation and install the proper pipe for your furnace. It's only 30', or about three...

    Shop Chemicals

    Amongst all of this talk and stories of mangled digits due to jewelry having been in the wrong place at the wrong time, I would like to share a similar event that the offending piece of jewelry actually prevented a much more serious injury from occurring. In a much distant past, we're talking HS...

    Not one mention of ArnoldB

    "not one mention of Arnold B." Well I never *sniff* The nerve of those people. How could they possibly have such a glaring omission as/in our own #1 ??? :big: That is a beautiful country that I hope to have visited before I leave this Earth. BC1 Jim

    Help with Stuart gasket thickness....

    Hello Pete, you can use material cut from a brown shopping bag, provided the stores in your area still even use such things anymore ;D. For your application you will only require a very small piece. After cutting them out, lightly soak them in vegetable oil and then wipe them as 'dry' as...

    gripping the inside of a small hole

    I'd suggest a pair of long nosed pliers with jaws of sufficient length, even a pair of regular gas valve pliers that have had the jaws ground down. Make a ring out or copper or steel that will just fit over the outside diameter of the jack, maybe just a bit larger. Solder this ring onto the...

    Dot and Stews African Adventure

    What a spectacular set of images Stew! Beautiful animals and scenic shots, not to mention the local folk. Having never left the shores of the US and having grown up in the MidWest Heartland country, these photos usher up images in my mind of a vast and majestic wilderness. Utterly fantastic...

    Does anybody sell model (I.C) v4 to v12 engines, exept Conley precision?

    Welcome George. The engines you are seeking are out there but in a very narrow and specific (read $ expensive $) niche. I've always fancied the Kavan flat twin engine series but could never bring myself to pull the trigger on buying one. BC1 Jim
