Theres an animation on this site of a diesel engine cycle, it might be usefull.

i can see the page for the download but cannot select the file to download it ?
My question was more about how to do all the linkage and empties to make it work
a tut would be better or a good short video

I remember seeing a tutorial from the blender conference on mechanical modelling, it show how to model a piston and the use of armature to animate it.
Mechanical Modelling Workshop with Pim de Groot (NL)

Put ‘Bit Torrent’ into a google search and you’ll fined out all about it
In short BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer (P2P) file distribution protocol.
Are therre bit torrent for audio and another one for video ?
The one i saw was 90 MB for audio!
For the time being i cannot take to download that it is too big
My Hard disk is almost full so i got a be carefull till i get my new Hard-Disk installed

I got this Flywheel file and it is beginning to give a good idea on how to do it !
But i did see a more complete drawing with 6 pistons in V with all the crankcase - piston rod - piston 2 rows of valves ect…
but i think this was a very old file may be more than 5 years old done probably with some of the very early version of Blender
But still i would like to find it - some of the elder of Blender may remember it or have a copy of this file somewhere !
