• I don’t keep track of time and work on multiple projects simultaneously. This model is not a difficult build. I made changes to the gearbox to put the pulley on the outside where it can be  easily belted to an engine.

• I replaced the heavy cast iron counterweights with light aluminum ones. The counterweights do nothing on the model and are heavy to lift to top dead center.
