Nice progress Stew :thumbup: "Got all the studs the same lenght by putting a couple of washers under the nut and filing the studs off flush with the nut, remove a washer and you've got them all the same amount of stud sticking out above the nut." Thanks for that tip!!! - So simple a solution to a problem that's bugged me in the past. Kind regards, Arnold |

I was hoping to be further on with this engine but Family commitments keep taking priority, any way got a little more done. Tapped the housing and the lubricator hole in the bearing cap M4 and opened the clamp holes in the cap out to M4 clearance. Then assembled the caps to the housing pinching down onto a couple of folds of paper, this is so the caps will tighten down onto the bearing. Then transfered over the mill and found the edges then indexed to the bearing centre and machined out the bearing location using a 15mm end mill fed straight down, it cut over 15mm thats doesn't matter i'll just make the bearings to fit. Flipped the job over and drill the base M4 tapping and whilst I was at it drilled a line of 3mm holes so if I wish I can line the housings up on the base plate with dowels not sure if I'll do this or not but may as well drill the holes whilst I'm at it as they are out of the way. I managed to drop on some jig plate on flebay paid an arm and a leg for it but needs must, so tried the parts out to get some odea of how things are looking. Not to bad unsure how the seven inch fly wheel will look though. Stew |
