Default RE: Gas engine parts interchange data



From Aussiesteve
Recently I have had cause to model a off the shelf 48mm cylinder with an off the shelf 35mm crank with the intent of using an "off the shelf" cylinder for an engine made from "off the shelf" parts for very respected engine guy who I consider to be a good friend of mine. Even though the cylinder porting was designed for a different stroke, the basic unit still worked very well for the model. It is just a matter of finding the right piston to suit the deck height involved (still working on that side of it).

The best part of this hobby? - ALL products suit someone in it, some of us like to wonder, others like to tinker, others like to get the simple instant gratifaction - we ALL have fun either way, so no matter what the Chinese throw at us (lets face it - right or Wrong, Deserved or not, They are our major suppliers) someone will enjoy the new products.
