Now that is just too slick Dave. Something else learned here. You know when you engage brain wonderful things come out of it. LOL......... Just wish I could engage mine.  Thanks for showing bud.

Actually guys...it was pretty darn easy....do the straight stuff first...to bound it...then put the button in...don't need a DRO even...just watch the button turn...then stop....then turn...then stop.....Cool!

You have to pay attention to the start and finish points that intersect with the straights parts....but that's it!

Gotta make up some valve cages soon.   I'll use bronze.  I'm liking the progress here...it's nice to have a session and see a lot of things checked off.   I have a fixture to make to do the inlet and exhaust passages...

You seem to be on a roll there Dave. I have another week or more of work ahead of me before I crank back up again. I am curious of this fixture and why it's needed. Is it for cranking out multiplies cages?

Don

[steamer]

Nope....it's for making the curve intake and exhaust ports....the head mounts to it and various holes mount it to the center of the rotary table/dividing head for manipulation.

Dave

[steamer]

OK...I need to order the plugs before I machine the spark plug ports...and I need to get a extended ball end mill to mod....but here's the state of the state regards to the head.





that'll do!    I bored the combustion chamber a bit too big...so I had to sleeve them...but it came out OK.

Valve, cages , intake and exhaust ports...cover, ect ect to go.

For a freehand job that came out really nice.

What size plugs are you going to use?

[steamer]

Thanks Steve!

Either 10-40 or 1/4-32.....

I haven't decided really....

Dave

[stevehuckss396]

I have had Dale Detrich's 1/4-32's in my peewee for about 4 years now and still going strong.

Just sayin!
