custom modular motor

seems this is the best place to post cause there is not general chatter about models here.

I keep reading over this stuff and thinking wow...
so in between all my other projects and hobbies im going to design and build an engine, well actually a couple of them, using a modular design.

Basically i want to be able to use the same heads, cylinders, pistons and to an extent conrods and to be able to simply ( :big: ) make a crank and block in nearly any configuration and have it still to run.

That sounds a good idea

You might find the first 6-8 pages of the appendix to Elmer's Engines of help where he described typical components that can be adapted to various engine designs. This should link you to it: http://www.john-tom.com/ElmersEngines/ShopWisdomRevNov07.pdf

Even after posting it I tried it and it worked for me. If not maybe someone else has another link to the same pages.

Works for me.
You have to have Adobe Acrobat or better installed on your computer.
The file opens as a .pdf file.
