Identity of Glow Engine.

I always associate fillisters (I don't know what is the right spelling) with America. All the ones I have are in UNF/UNC sizes.

My 2.5CC FROG diesel has cheese heads not Filaster. The engine is 48years and I have had it from new.

Did I really say that Jason ???

Whilst I modified some Pan Head Philips screws to represent the Round Head Philips as used on the original range of Eta diesels on those I scaled up, all the other engines built have cheese head screws as per most original engines handled over the years. As already said there are exceptions - OS used a metric cross point throughout but most used plain BA cheese head.

I've tried to put a pic up of the latest - 5cc Ed Hunters but the preview shows the image distorted after resizing.

Whatever - they will be running at this years Forncett Model Engineers day on October the 7th which is why I looked in in the first place

PS Like others I'm convinced the engine in the original post is a home made special and very much based on the Enya style of crankcase.

Sorry must have got confused with someone else or other engines, thought it was in one of your threads.

I assume the BA threads would mostly apply to UK made engines with ones from Europe using metric and those from the US having UNC/F threads and as Neil says the Fillaster is more common over there and what I have used on several of the American engine models I have built.

Found this pic in my albums when searching for some model engine related shots.
Not a glow engine but a DC Wildcat (Davies Charlton) diesel, head and cylinder look home made and not original but crankcase design matches the OP engine.

Looks very similar to a Doolling or Frog top end.
