Half to practice with Kirk. The other half to do the job. John |

Other than making the other three crosshead guides this morning, I made no engine progress. I spent most of the day helping a friend move his machine shop gear. He gave me his shop press, all but the hydraulic jack, and it's sitting on my trailer in my driveway right now. He also has a shaper attachment for a BP mill that I can have. I have no idea how to run it, and it's heavy. I believe it mounts on the opposite end of the ram from the head and will cut slots and the like. |

I had the afternoon to play in the shop, and worked on getting the crankshaft and its attachments done. The assembly does turn without binding, although I don't have the bearing blocks clamped down really tight. I discovered that I need to enlarge the central baseplate opening slightly, probably .01", as one of the crankwebs is hitting the corner. If I can get the conrods finished next I can connect up the crossheads and get them lapped in. |

Kvom, your doing a bang up job on this engine and I can't wait to see more progress. I told John the other night that this engine is on my short list. I just may give this a go after I finish the Webster. |
