Very nice engine and a great set of comments on the build. Thanks for sharing.

Great job, well deserved.

Thanks for the excellent discussion on valves and valve lapping.

Very nice engines, thanks for sharing them.

I think you need to make the tool holder a magnet too.

Great engine, thanks for sharing it with us.

I'm enjoying watching your build, thanks for sharing it.

A larger wire won't cause a loss of power. In theory only, you could see a slight increase in motor power. Course in this case the increase would be so slight as to be considered zero.

Congratulations! Great looking engine.

Really enjoying your build. Thanks for taking the time to share it.

Simply beautiful.

Interesting build. And the work you have done looks excellent. I will definitely be watching. Thanks for sharing.

One problem I had that I have not seen mentioned was figuring out the proper diameter before I started threading. I was leaving the blank to large and after threading it would just start but never got beyond a full thread. As other's have said persevere.

Congratulations! A fine model.

Thanks for letting me see all those beautiful engines and for your words of wisdom on the subject.
