Very cool! What hits me is how much travel needs to happen on the exhaust valve, makes it far more obvious when it is firing and has a lot more motion for viewing. Very cool, excellent work!

That sure has come a long way since I saw it last year.

Very well done, Scott...!!

Hi Everyone,
Here is the engine cleaned up and ready for the shows!
This was the most challenging of my engine builds to date.
it has a lot of very small parts (especially in the hit and miss mechanism).
A lot of fiddling and adjustments were needed to get it to run properly.
Now on to the next project!
Scott
