Sorry guys and gals,
I've had some recent computer issues and may not be able to recover the other video's I've taken while building this engine. Here's possibly the final video, and first run of the engine. I still need to make gaskets and cladding, and paint the engine. If I can recover the other video's, I'll get them up as well. So far everything has turned out really well.
