Sounds just like my Volvo B20 engine in my old Volvo 142. Nice job!

Now lets see if you can get it to idle as slow as the real Holt engine.

Hey, do youy think one day you could make a modle 3.8 litre buick v6? You know a tribute, since they dont make them anymore and they were one of GMs best engines period. Also because no seems to make modle v6s. Also maybe make a video some day showing how to make one. or a series I should say. ireally want to make one, but, dont have the knowlage

Cole's Power Models out of Texas is a model engine supplier. They have the drawings and castings if so desired. I built mine from scratch because I didn't like the way the crankcase had to be machined.

few questions? do the cylinders have sleves? and if so what are they made out of and what are the pistons made out of?

@superfunnyman123
The outer cylinders/jackets are made from aluminum. The inner sleeves are pressed in to form the water jackets. They are made from Durabar iron. The pistons are made from aluminum with 2 cast iron rings per piston. The wrist pins are drill rod.
