Interesting Stew. That place is a few miles to the east of were I live. I believe those are used more to take the glaze out of a bore than it is for honeing a perfect round hole. If the hole is egg shape to begin with this hone will not fix it. But if you have bored the hole perfectly round first then it will give you that cross hatch you are looking for in honing. Your build has me leaning toward building a 3 cylinder engine as a next projcet. Keep up the good work. Bernd |

Looking good Stew :thumbup: The hone..... All I can think of to add is Lots and lots and lots of oil! Well that's what I was always told :thumbup: Looking forward to seeing this taking shape :nrocks: Ralph. |

Very impressed Stew .. looking forward to seeing the completed engine. Quick question.. I've always left a gap for Loctite, never used it on things pressed together. Can I ask why you used it on the cyl/liner asm? So what's next .. This one ?? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycoming_R-7755 :) Dave BC |

Hi Dave It depends on the type of loctite and the application, I worked with loctite company for many years, and know some of their technical guys quite well, using high strength loctite with an interferance fit increases the strength of the joint considerable:- its the method BR use to fix the wheels on loco axles. Cheers Stew |

Tks Stew Another urban myth I've been the victim of !! Was once told there was no point in Loctiting (not sure if it is a verb) an interference fit. Do one or the other. Still, if it's come from their folk, then I'll accept that. :thumbup: At least until I'm smacked in the kisser by some errant BR rolling stock ... :D :D Dave BC |
