Speaking of unfinished projects, this build kind of sputtered to a stop almost a year and a half ago.

I was at a point where all I needed to finish the engine was a fuel tank and connecting up the ignition system which I have all the parts for.
Unfortunately I was never able to get the valves to seat. I used a pressed in valve guide and the valve seats were cut into the cast iron head. Now, I'm thinking, with the valve cage idea from Model Engine Builder, I will revive this project and see if I can get it running!
