    Bentley BR2 Question

    I never thought to zoom on the picture of the write up. It's nice to know who did the build. Thanks for sharing it.

    Bentley BR2 Question

    I believe the pictures are from the build of Paul Knapp (I may be wrong, I don't know for sure). The Craftsmanship Museum has additional photos of his BR2 and other works of his. His work is impressive to say the least. John

    Bentley BR2 Question

    I have been working on the BR2 for about two years. I have not built the master rod assembly yet but I intend to pin the master rod to the hub and use loctite to secure it.

    Jan Ridders Flame Licker but an unrunning engine

    I just finished a Duclos Little Blazer and had similar experience. With a little more time I'm sure you can get it running. I had to make a number of adjustments to get the Little Blazer running. Most of the adjustments were to remove friction. I reduced the valve spring tension, did additional...

    Odds-N-Ends Engine

    Jeff, Look at The Shop Wisdom of Philip Duclos. I think the Odd-N-Ends is there. I have the Two Shop Masters and it isn't included. John
