I too hope that all returns to near normal as soon as possible Des. I too seem to be having more than the average number of problems at the moment - life seems to be like that!

Hope your shoulder is better as soon as possible - I am waiting in anticipation in the front row to see your progress

Hi Des,

I hope it's your shoulder feeling better?
And you can go back to your workbench, because i wanna see how it goes here.
Thats looking great, i am excited! ;D

And when you say "Apart from all that, life is good", I would like to add "At the end is all good, and it is still not good, it's not over yet".

Kindly regards and best wishes

Sorry for such a lengthy time between updates but life has been getting in the way of my modeling.

I have added the eight cylinders to the crank case, also made and added the intake manifolds. The exhaust pipes were made from 1.2mm brass tube and RB Motion aluminium nuts, once fitted they were painted with Mr Metal Stainless and lightly polished. I also fitted the push rods and valve springs. Next up will be the water pipes (I'm waiting for copper tube to arrive) and spark plugs (waiting for them to arrive from RB Motion), the engine is now getting close to completion. Because the engine is made mostly of metal it is quite heavy.

Here is the obligatory engine in palm of hand photo  :)



These photos show the push rods and valve springs fitted.

Des, that engine is incredible!  You have, again, demonstrated  your mastery over the Dark Art of scratch-building. Now I have to take another look at my O-X5 in the Canuck. Keep up the good work and PLEASE stay healthy. All our best wishes.
Pietro

Masterful is indeed the word! Do you have scale oil rags too?

What can I say when I am left speechless and am suffering from an aching jaw which has stuck the floor (again)!

Just absolutely wonderful/marvellous and any other suitable adjective that means the same……..
