Wow, again. Twin cam-shafts. The valve chambers bolt on the Sides of the cylinders, making for much simpler castings! One can take their valve modules ashore for valve grinding! |

I am going to guess it as an F2
Heavy Duty...
Howabout simply BIG
Here are pics of an NOS cylinder and valve chests from a Palmer F series that I am going to make a floor lamp out of. The cylinder is knee high and the flywheel in the pic with the valve chests is from a 1 1/2 hp hit and miss Fairbanks Morse.

What are all those ports? I imagine the top & bott are water-cooling, then the 2nd one down is the inlet/ or exhaust. So what is the biggest port for?
I imagine this equipment is the same either side of the cylinder? Do you have any other photo angles on these parts Ernie? Thanks- Interesting!
