While going through my tigre 46's I found 1 engine that has no ring. Anybody know anything about this engine?

Is the sleeve brass?

Could it have been rebuilt with one of the Bristunt ABC P&L sets?  8)

Sleeve appears to be steel or cast iron. Piston looks chrome plated or aluminum. It is an older no lug case and the sleeve has no bridging for a ring. I may take it apart and get a better read on the parts. It is brand new or a very good rebuild but no name other then supertigre.  

My bad it is a 35. I had it in my box of 46's and did not check the size. Still what is it. Is it any good for stunt. Like on a smoothie. Is it a combat engine. It looks just like a 46 except for no gap under the cylinder head.

If it is a 35 it would be a combat motor if there is no baffle on the piston, if there is a baffle it is a stunt motor. That is the G-21 35, there is also a plain bearing 35 that also has both flat top and baffled piston versions
Does it have  G-21 on it  or does it have a  "C"  on it?

The engine has a flat top piston, stunt venturi and g21-35. It has 1 exhaust port/no bridge and 2 intake ports/with bridge. It has no C anywhere but came with a very large short venturi.
