And if not, you have the video to watch! ;D
 
Runs great. I like the valve. Haven't seen that type used before. Is that your own design?

As I watched the video, it looked like your crank shaft is just setting in a groove without a retainer on top. Maybe it is just my imagination.
 
thanks putputman

no its not my design it is an old candle engine design and yes the crank is just seated in there so the hole crankshaft can be removed for servicing. if you look at the topic i posted before under "making a vacuum engine and need some help" there are some pictures of it apart.
