Hi Gil,

A well made engine and you did a wonderful job cleaning it it up.  This might interest you if you have not seen one its the compound version of your engine.

Many years ago I started to make this engine and then stopped something to do with getting married, buying a house, starting a business children the usual story.  After about ten years it was resurrected from store with the intension of finishing it, it was a bit rusty but before I started on it someone offered what I thought was a lot of money and as I wasn't exactly flush at that time I sold it. The engine on top of it is a Blackgates 'V' twin oscillator which I still have.
