I would really like to get on board with this. The problem that I have is no contact to find an engine over there. I am still a little confused with what the different numbers mean. What is the difference between a SOM, Metro, Petter, 6/1, etc. The engine that I want is a veticle slow RPM single cylinder diesel. It looks very old school with two large(24") spoked flywheels and it has external push rods. From what I have been able to learn is that it is not worth the money to get a knock off of the original. Does anyone want to take the time to help a newbie learn some of this stuff? The next time someone wants to start a container, let me know and I will join. Hope to hear from someone soon.
