I admire your desire to make an engine but fear that you will not achieve wheat you want from the way you have started this exercise. If you want to build an engine that actually works then you should buy Kurt Screcklings book

This goes through the theory and how to make the parts without special materials and inexpensively. Many years ago I made one and it did run reasonably. I have seen 2 of these engines actually powering RC model aircraft. There is a similar volume from Thomas Kamps https://www.amazon.com/Model-Jet-Eng...s=books&sr=1-1
I also made one of his designs and it successfully flew on a plane many times. It was not very reliable and a better design was one called KJ66. If you Google KJ66 you will find that parts are available for this design. However it will be expensive for you.
