Great idea. I will be building one.

Dave The Webster was my first IC engine. I never did get it running. I used cast iron rings, which produced very low compression. My next IC engine Lil Brother which also had cast iron rings and low compression. I finally installed an O Ring in the lil Brother which produced great compression...

Very interesting. Kind of substantiates the cost of dental work.

Brought my chattered casting over to a friends shop. He has larger equipment. We were able to bore it on his bridgeport with a right angle head, slow speed, small cuts, sharp tool. It looks good. I also got to use one of his lathes to turn the flywheels. Size does matter. Bob

Thanks for the replys. I quess I will just take very small cuts and hope once I get past the chatter marks it smoths out. Am using a 5/8 bar not very ridigit. :) :)

I am in the process of building a Paul Breisch Olds. Trying to bore the cylinder. The bore is 1.875 about 5.25 long which requires a long boring bar. How do I eliminate chatter??

Phil Your work looks great. I bought the plans for this engine a few months ago. Was looking them over last night trying to decide if I should start building it. Thanks for posting It gives me inspiration Bob Parker

Hi Guys Anyone out there that can recommend a magizine devoted to model engine building. I have been looking at "Engineers And Engines" and "Gas Engine Mag". They both look like interesting reading but more towards big engines and tractors. Any suggestions? Thanks Bob

Thanks for the reply. Mr. Webster specifies a "O.S. Max .12 CZ Radio Control Car Engine carb with a Bore of .166" . I can not find any listing for this carb. The carb you suggest is about this size. Should I try this carb? Is it proven to be comparable? I have come this far on the build so might...

I am in the process of building the Webster engine. I am about ready for a carburator. He has plans to build a carb. but recomends using a R.C. carb. Can anyone recommend a source for a R.C. carb. Any other recommendations appreciated. Thanks Bob

Hi Kenny Yes I did use 2/56 in areas that the plans called for. It seems to work. Bob Parker

Thanks for posting the plans for this engine. I just finished building this engine it was fun and it runs great. I am new to the hobby with this being the first engine I have built. I sure have learned a lot during it's fabrication. I'm sure the machining on this engine is not the greatest ...
