rocker engine - my third engine

[basement_guy]

I have already made some parts.

The base, flywheel and some small parts are ready.
Now I'm working on the cilinder.
There is a story for the "special" design flywheel
I pilotdrilled 6 holes, then I drilled some bigger. I made the first hole 8mm, following my calculations (inch to metric). When I wanted to drill the second hole next to the first one I realised it was not possible. The holes would interfere. For simetrical reasons I drilled the opposite hole to 8mm. but left the other 4 with a smaller diameter.

It's not a mistake, it's a special, custom feature. You always intended to make it like that, just to be a little different.

Looking good so far. Rockers are nice little runners.
