Fun project. 40 years ago my Dad (a lifelong model airplane guy) had friends who were the importers of these engines from England. Dad ended up with one this last year from a model airplane swap. The new radials are much lighter and more powerful so he gave to me.
This is the exhaust collector ring. It was painted black and a whole lot of JB Weld (so it's not just for redneck gunsmithing! ) Paint stripper and some dremel and file and sandpaper looking better.
And the engine. I plan to build a nice stand and put it in my office. Maybe pull one of the valve covers off so you can see the valves move when you spin the prop.
If something on the internet makes you angry the odds are you're being manipulated
