#model engineering

So if it can be saved awesome. If not great learning opportunity and a new book rest! but plenty of traces of unsympathetic machining and metal work. No fault on previous owner(s). From just looking at it id say it someones early attempt on a model engine. it spinns so it have that part working. Lets find out just how much is wrong with this lil cutie

You know it bad when there is 3 mm of material on one side and negative amount of material on opposite side.

Todays most shocking find! a piece of the engine who is almost made right!!!?? ..Almost. Ughh going to be sooo much to fix and more than a dozen parts that will need to be newly made to get this baby working.

I will say after looking closer i dont think there is a single part of the engine that is made right. Also some major design flaws on the valve housing easy to fix, but ill guess it one of the reasons it never worked since it makes timing the valves a pain having to dismantle half the engine to make adjustments. Sooo first thing to do might be to make a new valve housing to try test this thing. But also improve the esthetics! .... i promise im working super hard at work
