I have spent most of the winter in search of compression on my Odds and Ends engine with minimal success. I have now produced 4 different sets of iron rings for it and the last set are about as good as I will be able to do. I installed them and tried the engine and the compression is better than...

what should the uncompressed ring gap be on a 1" bore cast iron sleve IC engine with 2 cast iron .050 width rings? thanks R

I have searched and cannot find anything, what do you IC builders use for fuel line from the tank to the carb. I have seen some use copper tube but I would like to run hose. will the silicone tubing sold for model airplane engines hold up to coleman fuel? thanks Randel

Hello all. I have a few engines in the "not yet finished" stage and decided that the only way I was going to make the time to finish them any time soon was to sign on here, learn a few things and complete the parts I have been putting off so here we go. first I am amazed at the tooling...
