chain drilling before hacksawing may be an option. Second and third picture down.

After a few days off sick, i got back in my workshop yesterday.

I now have a Block, Pistons and packing Glands to add to the other bits.


The pistons still bind slightly and need a tiny bit more lapping.

Just been reading the Build log done by Tim

I soooo need a mill. Would make life so much easier.
boatmadman:
This was also my first proper engine build.

Doubting my ability to get success, I decided to build 2 hoping for 50% success rate. But, they both worked!

There is a build log on here somewhere.

Good work, keep it up.

spuddevans:
Great start there Alex   :thumbup: You are doing really well without the use of a mill, Bog's designed it so that you can build it only on the lathe if a mill is not available.

That being said, having both machines (lathe and mill) is a real bonus and a real timesaver too. But you are showing us all that you can produce great results just by using what you have.

I'm looking forward to watching your progress,

Tim
