Hi, I am at the stage where I am pondering how to make the tiny valve linkages
for John-Tom's two cylinder marine rotary valve engine- my first engine.

I welcome any advice especially as I consider; a) how do I turn such tiny parts,
b) how do I make the clevis ends and c) if this is going to be a table top
model, must I turn all linkage parts out of steel or may I use brass?
My thanks for all your terrific advice. Quincy, in the still soggy Nova Scotia
after record breaking 4" of rain.
