Thanks for the kind words.

I'm thinking of doing an air cooled H&M next. Maybe the Gade or Red Wing - or perhaps a Bob Shores Little Hercules. Hmmm....

I can vouch for the Red Wing.....substantial engine and a good runner.

Hello Don,

Just echoing what the others have said - beautiful work and something anyone would be proud to claim as their effort.

Best,
Mike

Very nice. I would love to see it run.

I have video of it running in the "Engines from Castings" forum but it was not painted at that time.

I drilled the head bolt holes undersize and tapped them. Then I attached an aluminum block to the head with screws and installed the block into the 4-jaw chuck. Only 3 screws can be used due to the rocker arm holder. After I machined the head, I redrilled the holes to the correct size.
