IT LOOKS GREAT. Hope you post a video. I bought the plans but my skills are not up to such a project "yet".

hi
i found that you must stick to the plans 100%, every time i did not quite fully understand or new better, had to remake back to plans. crank shaft centre bearing must run smooth no tight spots or will come loose, the distributor needs a lot of thinking to understand how it works
in all with good planing to make each part it is not as difficult as you may think. ie jerrys hint to keep tool sharp and use square collet for radiator fins is spot on, do exactly as he says and it will be not difficult
all the best when you do have a go

Part and parcel of engine building that HMEM engine builders have. There were some engines that just won't start on day 1 day 2 and on day 3 she took off like a rocket.:rant:

Hi Mic.
That is a great engine. I have 2 more months to go before the V-2 gets done. Am eyeing the V-4 and watching Paul Swift's progress.

hi HwwKww1
Ce 1440E precision high speed lathe made in Taiwan, swing over bed 330mm. between centres 1metre
BM-30A turrent mill
both these machines are large for model machining but i do a lot of work for the locals here on a wide variety of tasks, hence the size
both are fitted with DRO, as it saves time
