Nice work Norman, if you are making casting kits i will buy one Sir, i think i could manage some thing that size :beer: Lyn. |
| NormanV:
I had a go at casting it today. Here are the cores in place in the mould ready for the top half to go on. Although I had built the patterns as accurately as possible I noticed that the wall thicknesses for the casting were not even. Also some of the sand had broken away but that was not a problem as it would just result in bigger flashing around the edge. |
| NormanV:
At first sight the casting looked ok, then as I cleared the sand I found the problems! I think that I will reduce the size of the crankcase core to make it a bit more forgiving on wall thicknesses and pour faster. |
