@douro20 Ok, thanks, I like to know what I'm talking about. Now, after your info, I see the exhaust appears to be on the bottom, and I see the spark plug. I might have figured this out after looking more closely at the in-out valve action in relation to the crank rotation.

Nope, it's gas. There's a cam-driven magneto on there and the spark plug is right underneath the intake valve.

Looks like a Mad Max engine from the future lol

love the external cam lobes

@ThaMasterSniper 4 cycle, says that right in the title, and appears to be a diesel, injector there on the bottom.

Love those old hit and miss engines... Are you going to put it back in use for something or just tinkering?

@pileofiron These and similar engines are still in use today all over the production oilfield. Something to be said for simplicity. I imagine there are quite a number operating almost continuosly for over 100 years.

@svickrey901 I have 3 or 4 movies of engines in southern Ill pulling multiple wells. They were put on the lease in 1906!! Thanis, Fred
