While we are on about lapping ... or not ... anyway I'll poke my nose in .. Ages ago I used this stuff in the making of very thin sections of fossils ... before sticking to microscope slides .. http://www.ceriumoxide.co.uk/ It is a very fine polishing mineral. I have some ... err .. somewhere :doh: Not from the supplier above though. Anyone used it for pistons/bores etc ?? BC |

Thanks very much Chaps, for your interest and kind comments. I'm thoroughly enjoying this project! :D Frankly, I couldn't believe how sweetly it ran. Even though it's only roughly cobbled together, just to prove (or not)...... So, I permanently fixed a few more parts, and tried again........ Getting a bit boring now, innit! ::) The knock, was one of the spokes catching the column, just above the cylinder. There's not much room available, so I intend to reduce the dia of the column's centre section. Talking of flywheels, and their cost. I spotted this omelette pan in Tesco, £4....... Just under 6" dia machined area. Hope I can adapt it to fit, without making too many scratches. :thumbup: David D |

That engine runs really nicely ... :thumbup: BTW .... If you're just going to use the pan .. Can I have the omelette ??? BC |
