A Westbury 'Seagull'

[Tomlinson]

I rather like the engines designed by E. T. Westbury. The 'chunky' castings can result in a pleasing finished engine.

Nice! I like the color. Looks good.

Tomlinson, this is your work?

 

[Tomlinson]

hello Charles.

yes, this is one of my projects, not my design, of course, but as I have mentioned before I am a fan of E. T. Westbury designs.

A very nice job too. Has it run? Some of the alterations seem strangely familiar?

Hello Charles.

Yes, the engine has run, many times when I first completed it.
I had problems with plugs oiling and swapped over the cylinder heads.
I even bought two commercial spark plugs but it didn't like these at all.
When I got it to run consistently I then painted it, test run it again a few times, and now it sits on the bookshelf with the others.

I was interested to see that we had both arrived at the same solution for the built-up camshaft:
