Untill then here is the link to my photobucket Album for the Cyclone Cyclone stuff Merry Christmas!!!!! |

I didn't get much done today. I did start roughing out the pistons and the crank bearing. I'm using some scrap cast iron. It turns out it's not the best quality though. It has a few inclusions/holes in it. I think it'll be OK though. There will be extra room for oil:o) Here is the chunk I have. The Big CNC mill at work has a 5000 pound counter balance weight that holds the head up. The chain broke on it and it dropped. When it hit it knocked 2 of these off the base. I'm cutting it up to make pistons out of. I set them up in my 4 jaw and turned the pieces round. I'll press the bearing into the housing in the morning. |

I managed to get all the square stuff turned round. Here I'm drilling out the crankcase bearing. i like Black and white machine shop pictures\o/ Once drilled, I could bore it out. Since it will be pressed into the bearing housing, I left the bore small. I'll bore it out to size after it is pressed together. I have a little press in the shed. Man its cold out there. I left about .003" interference between the two pieces. It took about 1000 pounds to assemble the tro pieces. I cut the piece a little long on my bandsaw. I'll just trim it to legnth while I have it set up to bore it to final size. I'll spend the rest of the day working on the drawings. |
