Quite nice. I'm building one just now, and can only hope that it turns out half as good as yours.

Bob are you going to put oil cups on 10V? Are you going to use Stuart or like
the ones PM Research sells?

Hadn't thought of oil cups till just today, but if I do add them they'll be homemade.

Bonjour Carl,
You are absolutely right. All my machines aim to be in hulls where it is very difficult to insert oil in the cylinders with a dedicated pump after a navigation and cast iron rusts very quickly. This is why I was advised to drill the cylinder heads to screw in M3 or M4 caps. With small Viton O'ring seals, they are absolutely watertight and after each navigation, I inject a lot of oil with simply with a syringe.  I could possibly have put a pipe on the drain cocks but all my D10 have not them and I have never seen someone suing them fo this purpose.
Example of steam plant in a hull :

Bonjour Carl,
Great cjice indeed  ;)
Here ideas of enhancement of your 10V : cylinder oil filler and anti dead points system ;

Bonjour Raphael,
Nice video just I do not speak French. Could you explain the cylinder oil filler
to me. Is it just away to put oil to the cylinder ?

This my new 10V that was factory built in the 1960's and
it came warped in the old wax paper. I plan to install it with my S50.
