Excellent  :praise2:  :praise2:

I guess that the red finned pieces are for cooling? Suction controlled inlet valves and mechanical exhaust valves?

Roger

Hello Dav, Andy and Roger,

the picture on my last post is the original Benz engine after I built my model.
Unfortunately I cannot upload my sketches.

That's great. I like the look of the design and your execution of it.

It runs so nicely as well.

Thank You for posting.
