It's amazing how much time you can waste looking for "stuff" for these old engines. (replacement brass or SS check balls, springs etc)

Tom

The Dunn II looks great, Being right in the middle of redoing mine I've had the same thoughts that this is a very time consuming project compared to other engs that I have gone through ??

The Truscott is super looking old eng Too !!

I originally thought that since the Dunn castings were pretty rough, I would not do the filling/sanding/wet sanding thing but just prime and paint the sandblasted castings. This did save a lot of time. It's just that the added complications of being a 4 cycle (gears, pushrods
springs, intake valve castings & springs) along with trying to fix & align the cylinders to the base (which in a "normal" engine would be a defacto thing) took a lot of time. Now, this is
a time consuming hobby (that's what a hobby is!!)
but I'm really glad I started so early. I still
expect to be running the Dunn at the August show
here in the Town of Maine, NY.
