Subject: Old engines


G'day Reg,
Furthering our conversation on the phone today.
I have a couple of engines over here in the eastern hills of Perth which 
were rescued from old farms and paddocks. There are several listers and 
mcdonalds but the ones I am interested in restoring and which I am finding 
it hard to get info on are:

Blackstone JP1 10hp single flywheel horizontal engine
This seems to be complete however disassembled, I also have a new set of 
rings for the unit which were given to me with the engine.

Crossley VO vertical two stoke oil engine.
This engine is totally disassembled and looks quite complicated, especially 
the fuelling system.
I have some drawings of the engine but still don't have enough information 
to determine where all the engine parts belong.

I am a member of the machinery preservation society in Perth but no one 
there has any information on the engine.

I am currently sandblasting the Blackstone crankcase preparing for painting 
and contemplating rebuilding the crossley if I can find the info. I am also 
worried that there may be items missing from the crossley in which case I 
will have to build new items.

Any help you can offer in relation to these engines would be greatly 
appreciated.
