A friend, brilliant old school machinists that builds racing engines in his workshop, builds his own tools and machines and repairs things nobody knows started a engine build. After i started the Jan Ridders Debbie (which is scrapped and abandoned now) he wanted to build a mini engine this winter. I got him Burleigh machine plans that he did not like because the engine is too small challenge for him but decided to make it. He is changing the design to make the engine more reliable which its no doubt he will succeed. Actually he wanted to build a V12 but simply does not have free time for "math" and making engine on paper.
He does not have much free time and needs to do all the math from imperial to metric so its a slow build. He built the distributer, pistons, and piston rods for now.
Here is a sneak-peak of one piston, i hope he will not mind. Il update the engine progress as it continues
