I have a customer who recently purchased Mery Engine castings and needs some help machining the main crankcase. He is in the Washington DC area. He is willing to send his casting ANYWHERE to be machined and pay someone who has already built a Mery to bore this one part. Please email me...

There is a pattern for the crankshaft. I am looking into having it cast in steel as the rest of the castings for the engine are aluminum.

I now have half of the funds in hand to move forward with the first set of castings. When I have 4 more model builders step forward with a down payment of $1000 or 2 more willing to pay the complete amount of $2025 for a set of castings, the patterns will be prepped to ship to the foundry...

Ok, I have full payment of $2025 for castings, drawings, and shipping costs from one who stepped up to the plate!

I need everyone who says they are interested in acquiring a full set of castings for this engine to step up to the plate. I have asked that everyone contact me through my email so that I have a commitment to proceed with this project. It will take 8 people coming up with $1000 each down payment...
