Benz engine
« on: July 03, 2024, 07:43:41 PM »
Hello together,
a question for the larger group.
Does anyone know the casting set for Torsten Schür's Benz engine?
Has anyone built this before?
Most parts are made of aluminum but also cast iron. I have never built an internal combustion engine and am currently considering starting with this one.

I think it is quite a new one to his range so may not find many people that have built it.

All I can say about TS is that I have had some flywheel castings from him in the past and there were probably the best iron castings I have ever machined.

The only casting set from TS that I ever built was the "Sachsenberg".
It was a few years ago and the castings were of good quality. The price for the parts is quite expensive but still ok these days.

I have now ordered the casting set from TS. But unfortunately some parts of the casting set are not in stock and I have to wait. Let's see how long it takes.
