Gearless Hit and Miss build

I have started another engine build.

This is the Phillip Duclos Gearless Hit and Miss Engine.

I have been reading these plans for over 25 years - now retirement is allowing me to build it!

So far I have completed the base, the uprights, the columns, and I'm working on the cylinder.

It's coming out really nice so far!

Wow Scott - that is impressive, it looks like 25 years of looking over the plans and time to dedicate to the mission is paying dividends. 

Good luck with the build, I'll definitely be following this one

Yes it is! 

Very nice!

I have completed some more parts. Now I have something that moves!
This is a fun and challenging project!

You need to dub in some Pop....Chug... noises!  Looking great!

That's look very neat & tidy, great job 

Oh hhhhmmmm very nice work you do sir! Can't wait to see it run

I have completed some more parts for this engine.  The cylinder head, valve cages, valves, valve springs, keepers, and valve covers are all done. Got to love those fins! I took special care to make sure that the valve cover fins lined up with the cylinder head fins. things are coming along, although it is fishing season!

Lookin' great! That was a lot of work just getting the cooling fins to look that good.

Splendid   

I have been working on the gearless valve mechanism for quite a while.
It's a very interesting mechanism - kudos to Phillip Duclos for the design!
It's working well so far when turning by hand - I hope it works when it's under power!
