Dave,
I heard the northeast was getting dumped on, I guess that means you. Don't throw out your back taking care of it. Good you got the heat back up! I've got to admit to never making a cam like that. I have used the rotary table in the mill method. I think having that slingin around the lathe scares me, just a little.

Wallaby? You're working on a wallaby? Is that the same wallaby from way back?  :stickpoke:

Yeah they can get in the way but are probably one of the best investments you can make.

(Don't take 'investments' so cold...you all know what I mean.)  ;D

Putting the oil holes in the bearing shells using the block and bearing caps as a fixture.


Need to cut a keyway on the crank and in the crank pinion.  and make an oil slinger.   I'll get on that tonight

Going to bring this to the New England Model Engineering annual show tomorrow.     Should be fun

Will do!   I have the cam shaft turning on it's own... I still need to cut the lobes.., but I think the worst is behind me on this build.

The only scary part is cross drilling the crank for the #46 drill about 2" deep into alloy steel......what could go wrong!?!!!

Looking forward to the pictures from the show.

When's the last time you showed a family shot of the wallaby?
