when i said flexible joint join, then it could be that i have written the wrong word, i will use metal bend, who will go in a hole in the top of the dispencer rod
i can find the right words here in english..i will take a photo later today, think i will try paint it today, just for the fun of it!!

Yes, i did understand what you meant with the 'flexible joint' just curious how are you doing that, because i'm also making a popcan engine. Actually i also don't know the right word for it :P
What do you have as a seal for the displacer rod?

Hei

The seal for the displacer rod is a bronse bearing from a electric engine,its a thight fit, but i am thinking about to make a longer bearing/tube. i have taken a picture of the flexible joint',so you can see,but the flexible joint' connection is supposed to be lower down on the displacer rod."cause of lower friction then"
