Hello Rob, it looks like your cores came out nice, I hope you didn't get in too much trouble for the smell, maybe if you add a little molasses water to the core mix, it makes the oven smell better anyway. It your moulds come out as nice, you should get some very clean castings, and get on with that engine :headbang: three and a half kilos for a core is pretty heavy, you did well getting them fully baked I would say. Looking forward to more. :nrocks: :poke: mad jack
