Looking good John :thumbup:

Those coaxial are very good I use mine far more than I would have thought, as you said you lose a bit of head room, but I use mine with a morse taper collet and find It gives me just enough to work with even when I use it with my RT on my X3 mill.

John,

Great progress there. I found that the trials and tribulations of building and getting the Jan Ridders internal valve flame licker taught me what to look out for on future builds and my poppin did literally run the first time I held the flame to the port - it's a different engine again but I'm confident yours will as you did much more experimentation with your boxer version.

Getting exciting now!

Looking like it's going together nicely John :thumbup:

Feeling inspired again... I really must get my lazy ass back out into my workshop (instead of typing on here I hear you say!?)

I feel myself wishing retirement to come early.... Well, I'd be happy if it came early with no complicating factors and lots of spare cash! But you know what I mean.... Time to do stuff when I'm not completely shot through work! :dremel:

I do like the idea of drilling and milling at at once to save mistakes :thumbup:

Ralph.

Bogstandard:
Thanks gents, slowly but surely, it is getting there.

Ralph, you don't want retirement, it is not all it is made out to be.

As for getting in the shop, do what I do, a couple of hours each day if possible, make one good part at a time, and eventually you end up with what you want. In my younger days this engine would have been finished in a week, but I am getting a lot more enjoyment out of it now that I am taking a lot longer over things.

John
