Dinkus - A Side-Crank Rotary Valve Engine

<< < (10/10)

If the cranks for the side rods are set 180 degrees from each other, that won't work. They have to be 90 (the way locomotive side rods are set).
(Bentley once made OHC engines using the same system to drive the camshaft, so it certainly works.)

Cheers. They are at 90 deg, I think I've made too many small errors and my implementation just isn't great.
