Techniques for Model IC Engine Building

This page presents general techniques for the common tasks encountered when building a model IC engine in a home workshop. Many of the techniques are repeated on the pages dedicated to specific engines, but finding the nuggets you need among all my other verbiage and adjectival-overkill can be a pain, even using the Site Search facility. So the links below will take you to a technique that has worked for me. It may be a dedicated page, or it may be a link into the middle of another larger work. At least the index will give you an idea of where a description of the process you're after might be found.

But first, the usual getoutagaol disclaimer:

I am not any kind of trained machinist--just an ignorant software engineer who builds little engines for fun. Any suggestions found on these pages may be unsound, unsafe, and/or downright dumb. Follow them at your own risk!
