Thanks Steve! :beer:
...........................
Happy with the head etc. I'm turning my attention to the other end, of this engine.
There's something wrong........ :scratch:
It's not the 'orribly designed crank throw. With the big end bearing hanging out in space. :loco:
It's not the way the crankshaft ball races wobble, in their oversize housing. :palm:
Shouldn't the flywheel, and cam, bosses, be level with the top of the pedestal casting?
The top of the conrod, is a bit close to the cylinder.........
But, there's rather more clearance, down here.........
It's desaxe! :palm: Don't think that was a design feature! :scratch:
The eccentrically cast flywheel, reminds me of a loco wheel.......
Would this improve the looks, at all?
Oh. Yes! ........ And, I've got a pair of 'em!
Still have lots of work to do. And, all winter to do it......
