krv3000:
hi all right as back from me holiday so I got stuck in today on the engine I machined up the other cylinder did not take any pics as it was the same proses as the last on then drilled and tapped the top casting to the base of the angel bracket then got a lump of cast ion cut a lump off yes I no you get a lump of it in the kit but I need to make two top caps and two bottom caps any way turned up two top caps then made one bottom cap I will have to dismantle the 10v two get the sizes right for the bottom cap any way me lath is curved in cast ion muck so I think tomorrow will be spent cleaning it dawn any way pics

Nice progress KRV3000; did you find any chilled spots in the cast iron sash weight when you cut & machined it?. these lumps of cast can vary, some machines up nicely other bits can be a pig to machine until you get under the skin.

krv3000:
hi no I had no bother in the machining of the cast ion but the bit that was left I took to work and skim it off at work :D right I milled the top casting for the crank bearings right pics
