This is just my 4th project. Each has been more difficult for me than the last. This one added the need to use a 4 jaw chuck which I recently bought. Getting the cylinder, piston, head, cross slide, connecting rod and crank to all line up was a real challenge for me. Just did the first trial assembly tonight and it ran first try. Got it to run all the way down to 5 pounds of air pressure. Now to tear it down, clean up the tool marks, do some polish and paint. Then see if it still runs.
I think this will be the last of small scale for me. I have had enough of tapping 2-56 holes in aluminum to last me for a long time.
