I started building my third "EZ 45" http://npmccabe.tripod.com/45engine.htm The first one I built about 2 years ago with hand tools and a lathe, ugly as sin but it ran great. About a year ago I purchased a HF mini mill and finally got around to building my second EZ 45 a couple weeks ago. This one turned out much better looking and runs well. Rather than try to purty up the second motor I thought I'd build a 3rd one since it is an easy build and I can use the practice. There are a few things I am going to change to clean up this motor. I try to squeeze in some shop time when I can, after work and on the weekends so I'll add pics as I progress through the build. This is my first real post so bear with me....
1st pic, the main body and cylinder cut from a 1" thick slab of aluminum with my $10 yard sale find band saw ;D
2nd pic, body and cylinder squared up and fly cut.
3rd pic, the 1/4" thru hole for the cylinder pivot and intake port are done.
last pic, 5/16" bore for piston and the cylinder is done.
