David,

Congratulations, finishing the track links is a massive project on its own. Defiantly capable of testing the patience of Job

And they look perfect.

Jim

Hi David,
great job with the tracks!

**romanmodels** · #**125** 09-01-2013, 02:06 PM

Thanks Enrico.
Now the track is finished it is back to the engine.

And assembling parts 109 which I think is probably the cam pulley if it was a conventional engine. Reasonably straightforward only care needs be taken in rolling the paper tube that forms the back shaft that it is the right diameter.

The pulleys mounted in place.

Parts 110 the distributor care needs be taken again with the paper tubes to get them to the right diameter.

The distributors fixed in place with the engine dry assembled to make sure that that should bit as were facing the right way as near as possible to the cylinder head.

Parts 111 the coil .

Assembled.

Fixed in place on their brackets on the end of the cylinder heads.

Cylinder heads glued to the central block the back of the engine.

Looking at it from the front.

And the sides.

Timing casing and the distributors glued in place on the back of the engine.

Engine just placed in the back of the tank there is a bit more space round it than I thought.

Part 112 plate that fits on the front of the engine and will take the housing for drive gears.

That's it for now working on the wiring at the moment for the spark plugs and coils.

The engine details are jaw dropping. With each update it just keeps getting better and better.

The pulleys are mounted on the engine crankshafts with the distributor being driven off the end of the cam. Each one of the engine cranks had a gear on the end that meshed with a sun gear that drove a central shaft which would be were the white circle is on your engine block photo. Was a strange way to get the power needed but guess it worked fairly well.
