Just a quick update on my progress. I'm in the fettle and finish stage and it's kicking my tail feathers. I'm having geometry issues with both the piston and valve assembly. On the piston I can't get a full rotation of the crank without bottoming out the piston on ether the bottom or top cover. It looks like when I soldered the piston assembly it came out to short. On the valve assembly it looks like I also made the eccentric rod to short. I tried to desolder the pieces so I could re use the ends but I ended up overheating them and partially melting them. It's a giant step back but I'm going to get this. The whole reason I made this model was to improve my soldering. Looks like I'm going to get another operunity.Tony
