I've also downloaded the plans, and would love to see a build log on this motor

Hi Driller
You are welcome, I'm jealous, as I had to stop on all my fun to earn some money for them. I also have aquired a 3d printer, and learning to print precision parts, to print my engine in ABS plastic. the work that I see looks top notch work. (Awesome) When winter comes I hope to start again. I have so many projects. Sample of Crank Print.

Thanks Jack I didn't answer the question you were asking, I would certainly would have payed for plans 20 bucks would be a bargain price! I like that the materials list and part numbers and sources for parts are included

I do not see the valve guide details or the valve spring retainers, I'm sure I can fiqure them out but I thought I should mention it to you. I have started machining on heads and having a blast.
Thanks Steve

Hey Jack
Minor mistake on plans, the cylinder to crankcase mounting studs on plans call for 10-24 but the parts list calls out 8-32 which is what they should be. I had already drilled and tapped crankcase for the 10-24 before I noticed the error so I will make studs with both threads. Everything else is just awesome thanks
