MODEL FOUR CYCLE GASOLINE ENGINES—Designing-Building-Running—by L. C. Mason.

From the Introduction: Innumerable model petrol engines have been built over the years, and the great proportion of these have probably been built from published articles and designs.

This was rarely possible in the really early days of model petrol engines, when a builder had to start from scratch and work out his own design before getting on to the workshop end of things.

This still applies to a much greater extent to four-stroke engines than it does to two-strokes. Not only are there a great many two-stroke designs available, but there are even more to choose from among engines produced commercially. This is not the case with four-strokes, where there are fewer designs and an extremely limited range of engines available to purchase. For this reason, those people who favor four-strokes are much more likely to have to build one for themselves to meet a particular need. For those people who would like to build a four-stroke to includes some of their own ideas but are perhaps not too clear on just how to start, or whether a given feature is a good idea or not, then it is hoped that this book can usefully bridge the gap between the purely theoretical “It-can-be-shown-that…..” type of book, and the “Do this, do that” workshop manual……
