Hi. I originally saw this engine on the HMEM site. The design and drawings by Kelly Kubishta are superb. The drawings are on A4 size sheets and are the clearest and most helpful I have seen.

I have made a few parts and include a photo of the nearly finished crankcase. I made a lot of swarf with this. I am lucky and have a milling machine to which I fitted simple digital scales. It would be very hard to machine this without the scales.

I have photos but have to work out how to add them here.

Hi, I have added 4 more photos to my album. The crankcase, cylinder head, valve cover, sump, timing cover, inlet & exhaust manifolds etc are more or less finished.

I am now making the water pump and fan assembly. Next job will be the crankshaft. I might try a built up silver soldered one. If that distorts badly I will have to try machining one from the solid. Either way I think I will struggle.

Thanks, Mike
