This is a great engine. I like the layout. Aesthetically it is quite pleasing.
The motion of the flame getting gulped is awesome!
What different valve designs do you have?

I am not familiar with the ins and outs of the Southbend 8K headstock gearboxes, but if the spindle bearings will run in the the gearbox oil you must use non-detergent. It don't take much detergent oil to cause problems. Just topping of a gearbox with do it. The crud particles will stay in...
Gail, Great idea. Sorry to here about your stroke. I had on several years ago. Keep working on you your dexterity. It will better but it will take time and effort.
