A Wallaby of my own.

Sounds like you had a pretty good day but for some reason the pictures aren't showing up

Tomorrow!

Got the main bearings roughed out.   I'm making them in pairs, so for a 3 main crank, I have 6 identical bearings that I will now machine into halves.   Upper and lower.

I also need to machine the taper on the cam shaft and the crank shaft which means making a reamer.   


Pictures to come

The last Wallaby pics were nearly two months ago  We hear the words, but without pics do we believe anything is happening

Can't you bore the two tapers and then cut the tapers on the crank and cam shafts at the same topslide settings, they are not that small that you can't get a boring bar inside them?

Don't have the mating parts ready yet, and I want to cut the taper on the shafts first to position the cam gear.     So....I'll just ream them

I have a water pump that will be driven off the cam shaft at the rear of the engine.   "Howell water pump"    I'll need to put a drive dog in the end of the shaft.

Additionally, I need to hollow out the crank pins, drill the oil passages, and cut a key way on the crankshaft, then that will be done.

After that, I need to make up the cam turning fixture ala Westbury, SteveHuck....ect.

Lots left to do.
