It took me some time to find the right parts but finally it was pretty simple If you click on this link you can read the story behind the build: https://www.modelcarforum.de/showthread.php?t=39649 I accessed that site and not being able to read German can't read it. Saw no photos of the engine under construction so I am assuming there aren't any available. A super clean build with withstand paint and details. Thanks for sharing.

Page three has plenty of engine pics.

What is that material the cylinders are made from? I would like to build some vintage motorcycle engines and that looks to be the perfect stuff to start with.

For the cylinders I used threaded rods made of plastic
Sam I Am Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 Yeah, it looked like plastic all-thread to me. Cool and innovative idea.
crazyjim Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 I'm very interested in the source of this threaded rod. Google did nothing for me.
Sam I Am Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 I Googled "plastic all thread" and came up with lots of links like this one. https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjco9mXhdHiAhWW0mQKHegzCOgYABAEGgJwag&ae=1&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESEeD2HcQkWLjPrtkg1tYVjX42&sig=AOD64_1WlYw65H5xsyqYkl-kWcGqF5HnBw&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwia09GXhdHiAhWCGDQIHX_wC94Qwg96BAgLEAc&adurl=https://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx%3Fsku%3D91844%26gclid%3DCj0KCQjwrdjnBRDXARIsAEcE5YnEza2GBYl-sOMYt-z66opl1-RcTXM0erHg44j9_dO3ICIvmgRmoDQaAkSSEALw_wcB
misterNNL Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 My quick search lead to sources like Wal-Mart and Menards.
misterNNL Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) Rather than buy a five foot long piece of threaded rod and have a two lifetime supply, I when to my local hardware store and bought two 1/4-20 plastic bolts. Those have enough material for several projects for me. The bolts were $.65 each. Edited June 5, 2019 by misterNNL Forgotten word
Tom Geiger Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 that is crazy cool! I can almost imagine what that would sound like!
Cpt Tuttle Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 Whoops, that was not expected, really stunning build.
Dominik Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 I wish you had given more information from your workbank-report - not everyone reads German as we learn English ... Information about the base, scale, paint for example ... it is very interesting! specially the build of the engine! it is definitely worth to copy and paste definitely impressive work! welldone!
PappyD340 Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 WOW indeed, looks amazing, excellent craftsmanship!!
Dragonhawk1066 Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 Outstanding! Very well done and very clean build! Most impressive!
