With all the reading I have done here, BruceM would be the guy to ask info and possibly a manual on these gen heads. Hopefully he will see your post.

Good find.. Wish I could find one. I know they are out there.. Here are a couple of S1115 engine manuals. Close to what you have. Bore diameter is the biggest difference I think?  But I have not found a specific Engine/generator manual for your setup.

Looks like they make quality paints.. They may be selling it as a ready to spray gallon. It says .68 gallon on the label.

 Looks like there is about 3 quarts in that can.? Add another Quart of activator and it is supposed to be a gallon.. According to there website TDS , a gallon of this paint weighs 12.7 lbs. Weigh it up do the math and see if they shorted by how much..

This all assumes I am even looking at the right paint. They got a different (screwy) way of identifying their paint lines and systems.. But it looks nice.

Very nice find.. What type of paint is it? Acrylic enamel with activator? Urethane with activator?
Alkyld enamel? (oil based) yuck.

I should also say that if you are building a show type engine for people to look at.. You can use any chemistry type paint you want I imagine.. You gonna build a runner that you spent alot of time and money on cheaping out on paint seems wrong imho.. I am sure it will look great..

What is between the spoked flywheel and the regular iron flat pulley? Is it another flat pulley? Is it made from wood?  I guess if it was wood it would not be there for extra weight.. Also the wheels for the trolley, are they handmade?  Again what a nice job you did there.. Amazing detail to everything.

You are a true craftsman for sure. Basically hand made bearings,resizing everything to better than new specs. Enjoy looking at your cylinder head work.. I hope the Amish appreciate the talent and effort that you put into one of these engines. And treat them better on their new second lives.

If shipping was not so expensive, my cylinder heads would have been sent to you a year ago for some magic to be done on the seats and guides. Yes I could probably find a decent shop to perform this work,but I would always wonder in the back of my head if it was truly done correct, and given the little bit of extra care to know it was done right..

The cylinder heads on my 12/2 are the last thing really holding me back on finishing this engine.. I already bought the replacement valve guides and correct qualcast seats...

Keep showing us the great work you do on these old but unforgotten engines.

Scroll about half way down the page. If they wont ship the paint ask them to supply a sprayout. May cost you some.

Stationary engine parts has light,medium and dark shade of mid brunswick green in either spray cans, pints and quarts. and ships to usa..

You would have to ask if The pint and quart size can be mixed with a catalyst, (hardener) as I think the spray can is just regular enamel paint.. Might be lots of people use spray can paint.. But is garbage imho.. Use a paint where you mix it with hardener and reducer and put it in a spray gun and shoot it.
Will last 20 years instead of a couple.
A top collision body shop might be able to mix your paint code as the code tells what and how much of the pigments to use. If they have a complete paint base system they should be able to mix it again if 381c tells them in the book what weight of differnt color pigments to put in the mix,

If you hit the reply button, below where you type in whatever you want there is Attachments and other options. Press that and you should be able to add a photo or file from your computer..

I am not sure if there is a rule for a new member needing at least 10 posts before this can be done??
I also have a 12/2.. I would like to see your pictures of your engine.

"He is in Ontario. It's a long way to the west coast, and shipping is costly. It's a lot more expensive to source from out of country, say U.S. U.K. or India. They sock you with all sorts of brokerage fees"

DEV on ebay has a trb or bushed 6/1 crankshaft for around $265 shipped to U.S. And I believe they ship to canada with shipping included as well.. They can also supply the bearings in the oversize you need if you machine your crankshaft.
 Or can you find a shop near you that will grind the rod big end?  38 AC has bearings for a crankshaft that has been ground..  Would you need more than .020-.040 removed?  I will see if I can post a link if you need.  Good luck on your project.
