wont there be a metal on metal contact without the gasket and wear of the metal giving black(oil kinda) residue..??

PS: any update on the tiger moth...! Keen on that build...!!

Yes you are right, but can live with metal to metal issue than cut intricate shaped gaskets.
Any way here is the link to the video

Been long???
Stand by for some updates

How about some real classic and vintage?
A pukka English one to boot?
Enjoy the pictures and shoot any questions you may have

The engine is Taplin Twin Mark III 8 cc and this was the version which was made by Aurora. The earlier Mark I and II were made in England and are distinguished by the 6 bolt head instead of screw on cylinder head. And the Mark III was 8 cc where as earlier marks were 7 cc.
You can clearly see the serial number of the engine, made in England and Brit Pat No stamped on the lugs.
This engine came with water jackets but is missing the flywheel to convert it to boat engine 

Some more

Can some one tell me how to connect the DLE 20 ignition and start it

Sarfaraz, request you to post at appropriate forum and not flame my thread.

manish sir.. is it fine if i post some scans of few vintage engines and articles related to them from some old magazines mostly from " MODEL AIRCRAFT", " FLYING MODELS", "AERO MODELLER" from the 1950s and 1960s and "MODEL AIRPLANEE NEWS" from 1990

I welcome your gesture, but would it not be better if you started your own thread, where we could have articles, test reports and other discussions about the old, vintage and classic model aero engines?

Read almost all the 7 pages of this post. this is surely a Lot of Collection i would say Captain.

V2Eagle = Arjun?? :-)

No sir, Im ashok. only few people knew me in the field .
I come to sholavaram like once in a month.

Time for a tiny COX 
A cox Tee Dee .09 NIB and with tools. Thinking of putting it on a pylon for my Spirit Glider

The accompanying instructions

This time a Cox but 049, Babe Bee . New in pack the tool and instructions are still sealed inside.

I had earlier shown the MVVS 49 mounted on one of my flying models, here are two more MVVS 49 complete with tuned MVVS muffler. One is NIB and other was bought used. The engine shown earlier is in need of shaft replacement as it is bent due to prop strike. Enjoy the pictures   

Some more pictures

The tuned muffler and how it all comes together

Coming soon.....
And this engine is soon going to be collectors wanted as the manufacturer is closing production of this engine.
Just the box art for now...

Lets take a look around the engine
The second picture shows all the major sub assemblies off, namely the muffler, mount and cooling jacket

Some more
The cooling jacket slips on the main engine case. The jacket is slit and retained with a single screw. There are two openings one each for the exhaust and one for the plug.
The last picture is of the mount that is attached to the engine with three M3 bolts. The way the engine is designed to mount or dismount you need to separate the engine from mount and then mount is easily accessed   

Mount with the three M3 hex head bolts
Engine with the exhaust outlet. The stinger built in the cooling jacket needs to align and   then the muffler projection slips on to the stinger and locked down with a screw and bolt. There should be sufficient leakage  from this arrangement.
The plug port
and finally the muffler

Rear view
Plug mounted through the cooling jacket
Engine with the mount
The prop driver is keyed to the shaft with a wood ruff key and notice how the driver is also counterbalanced   

And finally the supplied tommy bar to tighten the prop nut
