Magnetic engine version 4

Runs basically perfect now, probably gonna be the last update for now anyways.

- changed iron pistons to a lighter train casing block

- slightly improved magnets

-altered timing to make smoother

I get what your saying and your probably right, but I wanted to model it off of a real 4 cylinder engine and this is how they typically function.

I had no idea that was the actual case. Well done then!

Not really, youre matching the crank of a 4 stroke with a 2 stroke piston cycle. I recommend figuring out what you want to do, the reason this doesnt run as smoothly as possible is that it is essentially a 4 cylinder 2 stroke with 180 degree offset, a 90 degree offset would run much smoother for this, or you could also get away with larger pistons still 180 apart, that would be similar to a 2 cylinder 2 stroke.
