Make your wife a centerpiece for the diningroom table out of it........women love those sorts of gifts. Wait until Valentines Day to give it to her for the full effect. You'll thank me later.

One rod for the piston, one for the sleeve valve.......Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

Steve. Funny you should use the back to the future angle, my birthday is the same as the red letter day in science. When doc fell and hit his head on the porcelain. Mello. i like the idea of making a lamp for the man cave!! Roger, when i went back to buy it the guys wife was the only one there. Talked her into 20 dollars for it. Jerry, I havent heard the term billards in a long time. I guess its a little too safistakated for this neck of the woods. Bob,Been trying to figure out how a sleeve valve works, cant get it thru my thick skull yet. I ain't going to give up. Last but not least Don, We have been married for 27 years. I could put it on the table and she would laugh at it. Here's a pic of our centerpiece on the table now. Its a trophy i had made for the wife, inscription is WORLDS GREATEAST WIFE. For our 25th anniversary.

To figure out the sleeve valve thing, try to imagine a normal cylinder wall with ports in it, then put a liner sleeve in it, also with ports to match up. The inner sleeve is where the piston goes. Now, as the sleeve and piston go up and down, the ports match up during the cycle to open the "valve", then as it goes further through the cycle the ports no longer line up, sealing the cylinder. If you've ever seen a Detroit two cycle diesel that will give you an idea of the port in the cylinder wall deal.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon

Greetings Chopped!
When you found out that it was from a Willys Knight I got real interested because I didn't know that Willys had anything to do with an in-line 12 cylinder engine. According to Willysonline.com they didn't have a 12 cylinder option for 1928...
That is a 12 cylinder crank isn't it?...at least I'm enjoying the ride!
