Yes, the black is anodized. The other brass parts where glass beaded and fine Scotch bright.

Very cool!! Looks like you did a suburb job designing/building it! How much air pressure does she run at? Where is the video?!?!

[BCRider]

Very sweet looking engine done with a great eye for the details.

It's just begging for a nice carved wood prop on the output shaft! If not a full prop for running then at least a stubby cut down "display" prop that would look in scale with the engine.

Any chance of one more picture showing the master rod setup?

It will run on 3-5 psi.

Yea, I'm planning a three blade club prop for it.

Fantastic as usual Sid. I like your sense of style and consistent attention to detail.

Absolutely beautiful Sid, thanks for posting.
Now I know why that little hot rod of yours is so gorgeous, you've definitely got an eye (and a hand) for detail.

[BCRider]

Thanks for the master rod picture.

And I have to agree with Joel that you have a keen eye for the details and do a great job of nailing them.
