Thanks mudski! Much appreciated. No the manual was pretty useless.

Long time no see and I thought I'd post an update picture as its been over a year!

As you can clearly see,...

I wish I had been, but no. I started in October last year, apart from that I can't tell you how many hours. A lot!!

Uploaded a couple of vids where I'm using an electric drill to turn the crank, just to show the valves and rockers operating.

Cheers all. Appreciate it.

The v8 is roughly abouts 70cc. At this stage it will just sit on its base and look nice on the shelf. Haven't thought about using it in anything yet.

Gday all

I've been absent from this forum for a little while because I've been very busy in the machining metal world and I've absolutely fallen in love with it. I've put myself through a steep...

Gday all, apologies for the absence. Like Jonathan said before, I've been getting right into the machining world and making small engines. I'll make a thread showing what I've made.
