Just take my advice, listen to the voice in the video. Whenever I say, I'm going to start it up......well turn down the volume then. When engine stops listen to voice then turn down volume
This engine is LOUD
I'm running this engine on about 40-50 psi of air. I get about 500 RPM. After you cross about 50 psi the valve opens on the intake and the engine doesnt run as good.

Now for that pesky boiler. I have to make a boiler that produces 60lbs of steam and ALOT of it. Its not the pressure its the volume.

Sorry guys, I dont have any pics of the camshaft used on this engine. I put the ball bearing on the main shaft, and its a B**** to take out.
A little know-how and advice and you oculd have an enginelike mine
