Dale Detrich "T-Engine"

[Bill Gruby]

I posted elsewhere that I was looking for this engine. I found it and have the prints plus an included CD with many pictures of different operation. I hope to faithfully reproduce this engine here.
So far the bearing end caps are done -- each holding 2 R4 sealed bearings. -- I did not have the 12L14 steel in the size required so I machined the cylinder from 2024 Aluminum and will machine a 12L14 liner. -- Also the interior of the Brass Plumbing T is finished.
I hope to get back to it this evening.

Nice start Bill. Do you have an overall view of the engine by chance ?

Yes, it think i do remember it perhaps from the other thread...its a beauty too, and I see now how the tee fitting is used.

Thanks,
Bill
