I have read that the first hot shot models were built using mk#3 crankcases by machining the deck surface down to accommodate the new cylinder. Does anyone have one, or a picture of one. I keep a look out on ebay but havent seen one there. I have even thought of faking one. I have a crankcase I could use.

IDon't have a Mk#3. Have two marked Mk II.  Compared back to back, then back to back to a Mark XII.  Looks like you could mill off some material and tap the case to match the cylinder.

Don't know if this link will work, but it can be found on the "old" yahoo group page.

Marleysky, I have the same old models that you do. I am looking for the first model that used the modern cylinder. I read that you can see the remnants of the wen mac name milled half away.

Phil

looks like you are looking for a example of "engine 19" from that reference guide.
Or, you can make your own?

Yes sir, thats the one I am interested in. In all the years I have been using and tinkering with wen macs, I have never seen one. If I can come up with a crankcase I may make one. I have a friend who can do the triming and threading, if I can get him to do it.

Here's a MkIII that Bob (rsv1cox) sent me recently. Also in the box were one each; MkV, MkVI, and MkVII and one without a "Mk" designation.

One that looks similar on eBay, no good shots of the engine though

Mark, I may have misunderstood. Are you saying the mark X pictured is the missing link engine? I thought they were made from surplus mk III cases.

Very confusing.. Here's another engine given to me by Bob, that I missed.. (as received; less the needle and prop..)

It doesn't have that "shaved-case" though..  Huh... It appears to be a cross between the #19 and #20 engines.. but could also have parts that were swapped. Note the glow-head with "slots" as opposed to flats.. and AMF appearing "below" WENMAC on the L/H side of the case.

oops, sorry, thought that photo was of the 'missing link' engine, it was late and never bothered to look close, it's actually a later version without the oxide coating on cylinder.

I got this one with a silver Aracobra. Looks good externally, but the rod was broken at the crank pin.

P.M. me if you think you can use it.
