random boredom I suppose, been tidyin & tripped over an engine....

15cc sidevalve watercooled 4 stroke petrol engine called the 'Seal'

www.hemingwaykits.com/acatalog/The_Seal___Edgar_T_Westbury.html

built from castings & metal stock, was stripped & sometime in the early 90's the crankshaft was case-hardened but never managed to find time or hwyl for rebuild

maybe if I get some time....

calculator shows size....

the carbon in the cylinderhead's combustion-chambers should speak a thousand words

Brilliant little side valve though.

thought you'd have something to say

plug position due to design, layered construction with the cylinder head 'open' and a top cover to create the coolant area - plugs hang out the side.......

tiny champion spark plugs, came in tiny cardboard boxes (got one in the parts box, will dig it up)

not guaranteeing the mixture was perfect (no afr guage) and athat the carburettor was 'home made' did't help

It looks like a brilliant little engine. I had to resist buying a kit to build one. ( I already have too many projects )
