Rescuing another Cox engine

This time, on an online page, a Cox model appeared quite destroyed and with missing parts, but I could see that the engine was in perfect condition.
You can also rescue the wheels, landing gear, propeller and cone, in addition to the figure of the pilot, everything is perfect.
The model plane gets the worst of it, but it will be history.
I will take the motor from there and when time allows me, I will begin with the cleaning tasks and subsequent operation. Small Cox Logo

Okay, then rescue the engine.
After a very good cleaning, I assembled it and fabricated a fixture template.
So now there is a new engine available to enjoy !!! RC Plane

A very nice looking homemade mount if I do say so. Good job.

Beautiful restoration Mauricio..the red postage stamp backplate reedies are my favorite engines. The thin wall cylinders are tapered bore old stock quality! Does your have 1 or 2 bypasses?

Thanks András. The engine has two transfers and a lot of compression ... here are the photos.

The 2 ports No1 cylinder is superb. If you recall my Quickie100 flight video, this engine is capable of 》28k rpm when unloading in the air...absolutely fantastic little gem.

Just to tame it, you can add a DIY exhaust muffler like mine:
