Thanks Bernd, the wood machined up real nice concidering I was using milling cutters for steel on it. Bit of a short update:- started assembly work, but soon realised that I'd forgotten to mill the 10 deg air pasage in the cylinder, decided the best way would be to use my 2 1/2" sine bar, her it is set up with the corect packing. And this is how it was used to Want to try gaskets made from brown paper stuck down with grease, these are the gaskets ready for use, with the tools of the trade. Spent a fair bit of time makeing and fitting studs and putting the air pipes in the cylinders and giving thinga bit of a tidy up, tried assembling things losely together it all seems to fit. And this is all the parts exploded appart. If I can get the chance I'll start final assembly this afternoon and a trial run, fingers crossed. Have fun Stew |

Dave thanks for the good wishes. Didn't get the assy finished today just got a few studs to make and a hole to drill in the base, started to get tired, thirsty, and cold, so called it a day. I don't know what you lads think but you don't really start to under stand an engine until you assy it and try to get it to run. I decided to fit the bearing housing to the crank case with studs and dome nuts it would have been easyer to use cap screws, the studs meant I had to line them up and at the same time get the crank lined up with the big ends in the con rod and the return crank, I havn't fiddled around so much since the first night of my honeymoon. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Any way couldn't resist trying out on the base to see what it looked like, so here's a taster:- Don't half look OK don't it ? :D :D :D :D :D Stew |
