=============================================================

Here are 3 pics of a model Flame Licker with the intake port in the
cylinder head. I bought this at NAMES 2 years ago and it runs like a
charm. Do not remember the name of the builder. The valve is a feeler
gage or could be made from shim stock. A grove is machined in the head
for the flat sliding valve. Hope this helps.

Tinker,

I have a flame licker that I bought at NAMES 2 years ago with the 
valve port at the cylinder end. The slide valve is a piece of feeler 
gage. The linkage is very simple. The crank driven cam was made from 
flat stock. I could try to take some pictures an email to you if 
intereted. My drafting skills are marginal at best.
