> I have periodically put some info on the SEL about my Miami project.
> Some background for our newer SEL members: I always wanted a Miami
> engine. They are quite unique with the Sideshaft located on top of the
> crankshaft rather than below. I could never find one however. Finally
> I found one that had been cannibalized. The end of the cylinder had
> been cut off, a wedge welded on the end of the piston, and all the small
> parts were gone. All that was there was the base, flywheels, and
> crankshaft, and 1/2 of a cylinder. The piston and rod were there with
> the attached wedge. What was sad was that what was there was in
> terrific shape. No wear, no pits, no rust, probably 85% of the original
> paint, etc. I bought the parts from Jerry Toews and he had a complete
> engine exactly like it. He was extremely generous and offered to loan
> me the complete engine to copy what I needed. What a great offer from a
> great guy. I'll forever be indebted to him. I will complete info on
> the this project in several segments on the SEL and will label them 1,
> 2, 3, etc.
