Inline 6

[Moorefieldc]

Hey everyone I am in the process of building a inline 6 for my machining class. I am wanting to try to get it close to a realistic inline six as I can(rockers, valves, cams etc.) as of right now it's mainly being built from aluminum and it is aprox. 4inches long and .755" wide. Yes I know it's tiny, and yes I know it's probably impossible but I want to do it anyways. I'm also hoping to bolt it up to a nitro car transmission and put it in a RC car I have so any advice would be greatly appreciated

Welcome to HMEM.
A couple of years ago Kel designed and built a 4 cylinder inline about the same size as the 6 you are working on. It would be worth while for you to read his build thread at:

As you have time, a brief introduction the the welcome section would be appreciated.

Hi Moorefield.
Have a look at the link Gail in NM posted.
The Tiny will fit the envelope I think. The biggest chalange will be the crankshaft I think, but it's doable.
Kel here have the plans, real good ones to, worth to considder
