You have to feel pretty cool about that one.
Doing a project some time ago without knowing the future and then being able to apply it to a new project...that's pretty cool.  :ThumbsUp:

Hey Brian, what is the diameter of the disc on your reversing valve?  Looks like about an inch?
So many projects, so little time...

Excellent log of the build of this fine and solid engine.

It's a beauty!
