    Half-Scale replica of Henry Fords 1896 Quadricycle engine

    Thanks again! This was the most difficult for me and it took several years to get it running this well. JB Weld was a life saver on this one! Lol

    Henry Fords 1893 first gas engine replica running off vapor

    Ford Quadricycle

    Hi Steve! Long story about why it happened but here goes. The cylinders were welded to the manifold plate (plate that exhaust heads mount to with fasteners). The cylinders were bored, honed, and faced before it was welded which means the end faces where the exhaust heads are seated were not...
