Hi mate, was a reply to splodge 👍

Would like to see your offy progress, im collecting materials for a half scale version

Best fell of them all...

Seriously impressive progress on this, looking forward to seeing how the castings turn out

I'm hoping that along with the other issues that being scaled up brings that it may be possible to go for the 1 piece head and block construction too though the jury is still out on that one. I've watched many of the build threads on this forum with great interest and looked at several that I...

Superb looking engine, great work indeed

Terry, I have just about collected all the material needed to make a 1/2 scale model of this engine. In your opinion what would you change if you were able to do so due to making it on a larger scale? Any suggestions would be appreciated Jimmy.

Amazing work as always, I have read this thread from start to finish several times now in readiness to starting my own offy but scaled x2 size. The end product is a beautiful piece of work and this has been the best thread I've read so far. Thank you for the insane detail and lengths you went to...

Looks to like its going to be an interesting build, look forward to following it

For consideration, there are numerous light aircraft engines out there that are based on the venerable VW flat 4 engine, not the most advanced machine by a long way. On ebay there's plans for making a flat twin from VW parts for a light aircraft, definitely worth a look then see about improving...

I have a lump of tin bar 50mm ish diameter, never tired cutting it or indeed used it for anything
