Blackgates V twin oscillating engine

[thehomeengineer]

Hi All

Been up against it trying to get this little engine finished for my sons 21st birthday present on the 26th March as I only started it a couple of weeks ago.

But it is almost there with just a few things to do/make: gaskets, cylinder bore porting, unions and plumbing, wooden mounting base and painting.

I have ordered the 8BA screws and waiting for them to arrive and need to find two compression springs. I am also going to add a reversing valve.

Here are a few photos of the engine


Engine has since had input, exhaust ports and the cross port plug holes tapped.



Thank you for viewing
