One rod for the piston, one for the sleeve valve.......
Mystery solved
Steve. Funny you should use the back to the future angle, my birthday is the same as the red letter day in science. When doc fell and hit his head on the porcelain.:LOL: Mello. i like the idea of making a lamp for the man cave!! Roger, when i went back to buy it the guys wife was the only one there. Talked her into 20 dollars for it. :) Jerry, I havent heard the term billards in a long time. I guess its a little too safistakated for this neck of the woods.:LOL: Bob,Been trying to figure out how a sleeve valve works, cant get it thru my thick skull yet. I ain't going to give up.**) Last but not least Don, We have been married for 27 years. I could put it on the table and she would laugh at it. Here's a pic of our centerpiece on the table now. Its a trophy i had made for the wife, inscription is WORLDS GREATEAST WIFE. For our 25th anniversary.:3dSMILE:
Funny thing is a flux capacitor I think came from the movie Buckaroo Bonzai, I mix my movies!
Guess i'll have to check out that movie, never saw it.
To figure out the sleeve valve thing, try to imagine a normal cylinder wall with ports in it, then put a liner sleeve in it, also with ports to match up. The inner sleeve is where the piston goes. Now, as the sleeve and piston go up and down, the ports match up during the cycle to open the "valve", then as it goes further through the cycle the ports no longer line up, sealing the cylinder. If you've ever seen a Detroit two cycle diesel that will give you an idea of the port in the cylinder wall deal.
Thanks Bob, i looked up some diagrams and along with your explanation i think i got it now. wow.
I'm guessing something like this Bob?

Greetings Chopped!
When you found out that it was from a Willys Knight I got real interested because I didn't know that Willys had anything to do with an in-line 12 cylinder engine. According to Willysonline.com they didn't have a 12 cylinder option for 1928...
That is a 12 cylinder crank isn't it?
no its not a 12 its a six like i posted back on #3 the one rod runs a valve :)
Doh!
Missed that one...
Hey Surfer, yes it is a 6 cylinder, along with the crank there were several boxes of parts, now that i know what they fit,i'll go back and buy them. I have been trying to find someone that would need these parts. Happy monday everyone
