Model Engine
I am a huge fan of anything that has an engine in it. Naturally I ventured into making my own.
It is still work in progress.
4140 Chromoly Steel
Some high stress components were made using premium materials.
No Crankshaft
This part is the closest thing to a crankshaft. It does essentially accomplish the same purpose: transferring torque. However, you will notice the lack of any connecting rod journals.
