Neil,

Hats off to you. You are incredibly productive. Not just the pattern making, but the conceptual design, the detail design, the manufacturability, the actual production and the actual running of a finished project.

Just so I feel even more in awe, tell me you also have a day job !!

Superb.

Perhaps if I had a real job I might get more done, I own and run a small machining business, I thought that maybe when I worked for myself I might get more time to do my stuff, wrong.
At least it gives me a well equipped workshop at my disposal.

Taken me months to produce a half pie furnace, thought I wasn't doing too bad and then you come up with something like this, I have always prided myself on never being envious of anyone, but this takes me to the limit I must say!

By the way, what rod are you using ( next you'll tell me you made it as well!) - Great job! .

Well I have crankcase envy...........

[Flettner]

Engine in the frame, sealed up, this is the water cooled crank case, behind the rotary valve.

Posting more to subscribe than anything. However, a barrel for a fourstroke with a liner should be pretty easy yeah?

Bit of a water jacket and a decent surface to mount the head to would be handy for my special motor.

Yes I know. But I also asked a question.

that was a question?


Neil do you have any more pics of the mold of around the crankcase entry ie the top? I could not quite figure that out from the last photo montage.

Yes, fourstroke cylinder would be easy, to suit what head?

Sorry husaberg, I'm not sure I understand what you are asking? Are talking about the rotary valve housing?

VT250 head. Got that XL motor off Mike with a 250 head and slug.

no sorry the top where the cylinder goes with the transfer entries.

How it goes from this

to this

Am I right to guess there is another male component for the bottom of the transfers ie the curved shaft that provides the transition from the crankcase?
