Consider building a small, cheap, quick-and-dirty engine ... using off-the-shelf plumbing parts as much as possible. This is likely to be a much more educational experience than you expect :-), and will let you check out plumbing and procedures before you test your dream engine.

Oops, meant to mention: and once the quick-and-dirty engine is working, it'll give you some flame, noise, and pretty Mach diamonds... which is good for team morale, especially since it may be a while before the dream engine gets to that point.
