I've been working on the plans for this engine. I'm concerned about lubrication to the lower end. All the fuel/oil mixture is in the head and cylinder and none in the crankcase. The old Webra T4 engine also deal with this problem. But, I've seen two different versions of the Webra. One...

I bought a belt drive for my mini-mill several years ago and this is the belt that it uses. The belt is clearly marked "Gates 110". However, the only belt that I can find in the Gates catalog is the TruFlex 0110 that is described as being 1/4" x 1/8" with a circumference of 11". My belt is 11"...

Will this work? The valve is a 1/2" diameter rod with two chambers for intake and exhaust. Each chamber has holes to connect to the intake and exhaust ports in the cylinder head and to the carb and exhaust pipe. The valve will run in the cylinder head and be driven by a timing belt to a gear...

I recently got interested in building pistols. Here is my first one. It is a .17 cal blackpowder muzzle loading derringer.

I just ordered a single cylinder ignition system from this outfit: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=13767 I intend to retrofit it to my Webster engine and see how well it works. They also have two cylinder ignitions available.

I purchased a small LED flashlight and made a mount for use on the milling machine. Charlie

I bought a cheap digital caliper and mounted it to my mill to use as a z axis readout.

I ordered two of them they were so cheap. Make sure you also pick the $4.99 shipping option, too. http://www.vxb.com/page/bearings/PROD/Kit7426

The Model Engine News website provided free plans to the Boll Aero 18 diesel engine. http://www.modelenginenews.org/plans/BollAero18.pdf I started this project last week and have the case and cylinder parts done so far. Charlie

I've updated the plans to "as built" specs. The cad drawing was created in TurboCad v6.5 Charlie

Last evening I made a crankshaft for my version of Chuck Fellows John Deere motor. This was the first time that I had tried turning a complete crank between centers. The project came out OK, but I ruined my tailstock MT3 dead center. Since I don't have a ball bearing "live" center I used the...

I purchased the Harbor Freight 3" rotary table today and spent some time playing with it today. When setting up an operation on the rotaty table I assume you first must center the table under the mill quill and then center the work on the table. Is this about right? Charlie
