[SEL] Re: Portland Pictures - Henry Ford Engine

[Curt]

Hey Arnie....plans?
It's not a sophisticated nuclear plant, it's a pipe fittings and check 
valves engine. Raid the pipe fitting box under your work bench and see 
what you can come up with. Screw the head and cylinder together and 
chuck it in the lathe and make the bore straight and smooth. I'd bet you 
can find a weedeater or chainsaw piston to fit. Find some unique round 
shapes for flywheels.....etc. That's the fun of it. Clean up your scrap 
and your neighbor's scrap and put it together into something that 
actually runs. Then you too can claim it's a replica of what some 
entrepreneur made a 100 years ago.
