slow progress but better than none had to scale full size specs down to one fifth to get the dimentions that will work with the castings
tried contacting the makers of the castings but nothing forthcoming been trying for over a year now so i decided to strike out and see what i could do scaling down the full size parts
and here is the start need to re do the camshaft as the lobes are not exactly in the right spots but i know how to correct the next effort
once i am happy with the crank hopefully liners and pistons next

I'll be following this build. That is a nice looking casting set.

Great size too...not huge but not so small as to be tedious either!! Watching along as well.

Were these made by Roy Lee Baker from North of St Louis,Ill USA ? I knew him along time back . He was making many model's at one time.

more progress on the little ford made crank number two as the stroke was too long and the rods hit the cam in different places made a cam grinder and made a new cam also pistons now fitted and rotating assembly now works as it should
please excuse the other bits in the photo just more items i am playing with

Fine set of castings and some fine looking parts. I have wanted to make a model A engine in 1/4 scale for many years. You are living my dream.

this trial retirement is going to be hard to let go and go back to work
any way got some more done on the little ford crank centre main and cam gears sorted i think i have enough material for the valves and guides so in the next few days i might have more to show
broke a four mm tap in the cam but have since been able to remove it so all good again
