Natalfr, Debbie is a nice running engine.
My first IC engine was an Upshur Vertical. I learned a lot building it. Yours is looking good so far.

Halfway through the same motor. I use metric and to convert all I did was to use the digital caliper. Set the caliper to Imperial measurement from the plans then press the mm button and you have your conversion.

Hi Rickl I build the pieces in inches I have DRO mm/in In my mill and lathe, but for the axis I use the pieces directly in mm
Do you have photos about your engine ?
