Gold Blend. A Coffee Jar Engine........
Bluechip:
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 ..

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 ??

Brilliant that David :thumbup: well done, very smooth!
Stilldrillin:
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:

BTW ....
If you're just going to use the pan ..
Can I have the omelette ???
