Hi guys, I drilled and tapped the holes in the cylinder, I messed up the centre punches on the first try hence the extra set. I drilled the bore to the final diameter and lapped. That's all I got done today due to my lathe having a blip! I made a little start on the piston I'll finish that this weekend hopefuly. |

Nicely done Ross! :clap: Don't worry about the marking-out glitch. We won't tell..... :thumbup: Don't mention lathe blips!! I've had enough of 'em, now! :palm: David D |

Hi Guys Not munch done today, just got myself into a bit of a pickle on the piston. While roughing out I thought to myself , why the hell did I face it to length? It would have been 10x easier to make then. Im finding it hard clamp it to turn it to size, so I think I may scrap this and order a new bit of stock and redo it. The diameters on the far left and right are .0010" off finish size, but I'm left with noting to clamp onto for the middle! Live and learn! |

Hi Ross. Centre drill the small dia end. Then, hold on piston with revolving centre in conrod end. Finish conrod to size. Hold on conrod, to finish the piston. :thumbup: David D |
