Using specs from my Vintage Car book (Craig Cheetham, General Editor, Five View Series) I tried to design the same engine... WOW did I come so close. I was unable to bring the compression down to 4.8:1 and the end result was like 14.3 HP which is very close to the real 12 HP specs.

VERY COOL! I'm loving this even more.

You can make fuel BURN at 4.8:1? :O
