This engine was built early in my gasoline engine building career. I received the castings and drawings as a Christmas gift from my wife. I had it running about five months later. This is the engine that creates the most interest at the shows. So much so that I've had to rebuild it twice because of wear. As designed, it had some major shortcomings. The conrods were bronze castings which promptly wore grooves in the crank. These were replaced with rods machined from 2024 aluminum. Pistons were remade and the engine fitted with rings made from the George Trimble method. Oil control rings are a necessity as the engine smokes badly without them. An electric start system was added and the engine now runs with the push of a button.

Miniature Supercharged v8
Here's a miniature v8 with a tiny Supercharger on it. The video isn't mine, don't know who filmed it. The vid was sent to me via email some years ago. I would love to know who originally made it. I believe that Conley Precision Engines Inc. make the motors, or at least they make some micro v8's with the Stinger being their latest offer. I just love how these tiny engines sound so like their larger cousins.
