Thanks Robert, nicely constructed engine only marred but the PO's tool marks on the cylinder and drive washer. The compression King of my collection. Regrettably I don't do it justice having little experience with diesels.

Great....restored my faith in the CEF, well 1/32nd of it - you and roddie.

#1 - You nailed it. I thought everyone would chime in on it. Lot's of buzz here when Bernie offered them. I made up a couple. This one thick wall cylinder with a thin straight nose non-grooved case and a plastic back plate.

#2 - Third release Wen Mac .049 with a natural copper case. Quite rare, found on ebay. I posted about it and Mark Boesen mentioned that he had bid on it also. So, after a year or two I sent it to him. Got to missing it so I found this one also on ebay.

#3 - You nailed this one also (In red text)

#4 - Ditto HB .15 with a Perry carburator. Interesting triangle HB script logo.

#5 - Taifun .15 Hurrikan (Made in Germany)

#6 - Fuji .35

#7 - roddie

#8 - Aurora (K&B) .049. They also offered a .061

#9 - Dual stack. Something of a mystery only marked Fury in a nicely raised script.

#10 - Wen Mac .049 with exhaust baffle and pull string starter.

Ahh, now I get it. I thought the logo on #3 was a "V" but it's actually a "TT". (Thunder Tiger). I should have got that. I actually have a TT.15 but it's an OS clone rather than Enya, and has wording on the side rather than a logo. I probably should also have got the Taifun diesel. I have a heap of diesels but not a Taifun. Need to extend my research time!

Glad I could help restore your faith in us Bob. Sometimes things tend to wander away from the main aim of the forum and I lose interest. Just trying to keep it on track. Actually I haven't touched an engine for about a year, but I still like talking to you guys about them.

You took me to school on my own engine Rod. I couldn't figure out the logo either. But yes the V is two slanted T's. So glad that you picked up on that.

I actually love that engine. It was an abused ball of goo when I got it. As I remember it was part of several, a group buy. But it soon outshined the others cleaning up into a gem. Nicely factory finished with great compression. Came without a NVA, Enya provided a replacement. I haven't ran it, don't need to, enjoyed as is.
