[SEL] Miami Project - Another Hunk of Iron #5

[Tommy Turner]

Now its time to put it all together.  As I mentioned, what was left of 
the engine had a great deal of original paint.  I didn't have time to do 
a paint job on it so just to keep it from rusting (as new castings do) I 
bought  a couple of cans of satin black spray paint.  The original color 
on the engine was black.  I did this just to keep the rust away.  It 
turned out well enough that I may just leave it as it is.

The photo is poor as the lighting is bad.  Here is a photo of the 
complete engine assembled:

Here's a shot of the working end of the sideshaft.  You can see the 
governor, fuel injector, intake, etc:

Here's another shot.  You can see the big exhaust valve box at the 
bottom.  Boy, was this a job to machine everything where it would line 
up and fit.  Mostly luck that it fit:

The big exhaust valve box.  Pretty unique how it works:

A rear view of the engine.  The paint on the flywheels and base is 
original.  I never cleaned the surface rust off the crank throw but 30 
minutes with some scotchbrite will take care of that:

This is a repo tag I had made from the original:

It was an enjoyable project but I don't know that I will ever tackle 
something this massive again.  I want to again that Jerry Toews for his 
generosity.  I will be bringing his original engine to Portland to deliver.

Hope I haven't been too long winded.  I had someone ask me a few weeks 
ago how the project was going and I told them I would post photos and 
info when I got a chance.
