Hello, I built mine from the drawings from Lee Hodgson, he sells them in is site, Ageless Engines

Hello dear colleagues Some years ago , when starting in this marvelous hobby, (I´m a doctor) I bought some castings for steam engines, but then I decided to go to 4 stroke engines (blame Lee Hodgson and Roy Sholl!), and as distracted as usual (not in my medical work though) so now I have two...

Hello friends, here is a clip of my Snow model engine, trying to fire it up. The first problem was finding TCD, because I didn't want to disassemble the cylinder head to see the piston, so I decided to use a multimeter to check continuity and that way establish the TDC, it worked!, then, had...

Well, I need to take my time and focus in having: 1)Compression (that I have), Fuel (a little difficult because I have to fine tune the Perry carburetor I am using) and 3) Spark at the right time, (it is solved), so I will do that but still don´t know when, I will let you know my results, you...

Hi Andi, could not make a response in your question space, that is why I answer here, well, I had a few "pops" but have not fire up and steady, I put this engine on hold and will be back I hope, after I "flush" a little machining the Snow engine, my friend Roy Sholl got me a cimitar propeller I...

Thanks Andi!. I am in the monumental task of firing it up, just had a few pops, I talked to Lee Hodgson, he says there is a lot of fine adjustments on the go, I am on it, will post when I can get this engine to run

Thank you Paul!, I don´t know the LeRhone 9 C engine, however, I did machine the Ageless Engine (Lee Hodgson)) 9 cylinder engine, and Lee sells the casting and drawings in his site, that is a wonderful engine too, here is the link to that:

Thank you James and Clockword, after coming back from a short out of town trip, I will try to fire up this engine, I´m really anxious!

Hi Byawor, here is the picture of the cam I made according to Lee Hodgson drawings, is the one to the right, in the drawings are the coo rdinates to generate the cam lobes

Hi Edi, no, I did not had any experience at all, indeed, I started about at the age of 55 yr. old, went to a Saturday morning machining introductory course (6 weeks) and had 2-3 patients that are actually tool makers in my town, and they allow me to go to their shops (don´t you touch anything!)...

Hi Petertha and thanks for your words, I read like 10 times the Tribmle method, very difficult for me to understand all the numbers and calculations,(I´m a doctdor!) so, I had the opportunity to visit my friend Roy Sholl (S/S Machine & Engineering LLC) workshop, he is an expert, and he made...

Thanks to all!, Here is another clip I posted in YouTube also about the BR2
