Elbow Engine

[rustyknife]

I'm calling this thing completed.....very fun project....amazing to watch it run. It's not perfect by any means, but it turned out exactly as I wanted it. It's hard for a perfectionist like myself to stop tinkering with something, but I'm going to call this done.

Very nice looking engine, lots of polish. It seems to be a good runner judging by the video. Congratulations on a job well done. :bow:

Looks good to me too. It took me a couple days playing with mine to get it to run.

That is beautiful is it stainless steel?

Pistons and cylinder pins are drill rod, the rest is 6061 aluminum. I'm a pretty new to the world of machining, started last year. I've machined a few different metals, and have found that I LOVE aluminum, its such a great metal to work with! (secretly, cast iron is #2)

Thank you for the kind words.

Regards,
Eric

It looks like the tinkering was worth it. Quite a smooth and fast runner. Love the polished aluminum look and the big flywheel.
