Default RE: Enya 19

Thanks for your response Bob. I have printed all of your contributions to S.R.P. along with Mr. Zwoiak's piece on the .40SS. There are two Enya .19 VI 4006 BBs, on eBay right now from the same seller and they are nearly new. About $33.00 for both as of now. I was tempted but what in the worldwould I do with four .19s. -build a B-17. I don't think that there are any parts available for the IV anymore per Ken Enya - the VI is OK. One of the .19s I bought on eBay came with a piston rusted fast to the cylinder and the cylinder liner corroded tight into the block. I thought it was a write off. Propane heat and a-lot of patience and TLC and I think I'm OK. It's a shame in that the cylinder head still had bare aluminum showing so I know it had little use. I'll break it in as new. I was amazed that the little .19 has a full floating piston pin (wrist pin) with nice little brass "wrist pin buttons" to retain the pin. Beautiful engineering. Thanks to you, my good sir, I also have a new .09 and SS.40BB. You got me hooked and I'm not sorry. Now for a nice (any size) four cycle Enya just to run on a stand when I'm bored.

I'll be eagerly awaiting your future contributions to Supercool Racing Propellers

Best regards - and thanks,

Bill
