Hi all, thanks for all the commentary, Chuck, the flywheels are about 2.450 or so, just skimmed the outside of some hot rolled 2.5 stock to clean up, and faced, reamed, and cut off three, having forgotten to skim the outside of the first one. One wheel is blue because my second main shaft was turned, with the end oversize because of the oversided hole, but when I pressed it in, with 680 locktite, I hesitated a moment, it hardened with about .100 left to go, and when I pushed it home the shaft went squiggly, so I had to torch it to break the loctite and make and press in a new shaft, no hesitation this time.

Here is the first firing of the engine, using the burner from my Duclos "flame sucker".
