1886 Benz Motorwagon Engine

[Rdean33422]

I call this project finished.



1" piston
2" stroke
8" flywheel
water cooled
181 degrees highest recorded temp at cylinder head
156 degrees water temp in tank
roller bearing on the connecting rod
350 slowest rpm recorded
600 rpm is where the engine likes to idle

Thanks
Ray

I love it. Was it built from castings or bar stock? Are plans available?
