Whoa! Generally, I am not interested in IC engines but that one is REALLY cool and I might be interested in about 100 years, after I finish some of my other projects. As for myself in the present, I am looking for more info on the Improved Greene Steam Engine. It's difficult to find much.

Looks like 90% of it could just be built like any other side shaft hit and miss engine using fabrication methods and cutting from solid, add the ignitor setup from something like the Cranfield and then it's just a case of getting the external features to look like the Doak

No, that is not it. The Improved Greene is like a Corliss but with some differences in the valves.
