These pages describe the construction of the "Seal Major", a model internal combustion engine based on the 15cc "Seal" designed by Edgar T. Westbury.  The original 15cc Seal design was described in The Model Engineer from February 1947 onwards, the Seal Major being a later enlargement of the original design to 30cc by David Braid in 1950.

I bought the castings for this engine in July 2003 through eBay and supplemented them with a set of drawings from Woking Precision Models.  WPM can also provide new castings for the Seal, Seal Major, and many other small IC engines along with the accessories such as spark plugs.  Note: As of early 2007, WPM have been taken over by Hemingway Kits who now stock all the castings and drawings for this engine and its relatives from the Westbury stable.

These pages will be updated as work progresses, how long this will take I simply don't know - could be many years ;-)
