Don't like to see holes, even free ones, with no obvious purpose. :scratch: So, I made an anti rotation/ location, screw in widget, for mine......... :thumbup: David D --- End quote --- On the whole I thinks thats a good use of that hole Dave :thumbup: :thumbup: :D :) Stew |

Thanks Stew! :thumbup: I don't like to see holes, just standing around, idle. Gotta find 'em something to do....... :smart: With two precise location points, I can't see the massive torque of my mini lathe disturbing this toolpost's setting! :D David D |

:update: :update: :update: :update: Things have been real slow on this engine due to family commitments but have managed to steal an hour or two her and their. I had to do a major sculpturing job on the base, it was my own fault instead of following the drawing I changes the hole centres for the pedestal as i thought they would make thing look more symmetrical, but I forgot about the impact on the length of the crank. Any way with that sorted I've I spent some time getting my head around setting the timing:- not easy as you can't get at anything. But I have had it running for short time, but it will only run with lots of oil in the cylinder, I think I have to reduce the clearance of the piston, which will be a major strip down, but the positive thing is that It will run, as soon as I get a longer run out of it I'll post a video.
