Design Features:-

Short stroke design;

iron piston; and
steel cylinder liner

Specifications:-

displacement 3.5 cubic centimeters




Observations:-

Nice powerful diesel from around 1959. Engine is in nice condition. They had a red head and a pinky version. It's a short stroke design, so it's also a nice "finger-biter"... but when revs  are up...it has a lot of power. It came with the original box, with the manual....so that makes it for me very special item.

I must make a new con-rod for this little gem, because making a bronze brush alone will not leave enough thickness on the big end. So a new rod is needed and I will make him little bit thicker, to have save thickness for a red-bronze brush....A nice job for the nasty winter.. I will update the clip ,when the engine is running well!..

Thanks for interest in diesel-mania...more stuff on its way!
