Glad you managed to escape that Dave, but it would be nice to see some photos.

Don

Yes sir!  It sucks when something like that happens. The "no pictures" i mean. 

Hope the repair works out well for you buddy!!!

[steamer]

Yea I know Don....also on the list is getting a new droid today....working on that now.

Then I'll have a camera......and a much nicer camera!...10 MP....super zoom....hell I can ID my fingerprints with this thing!...

Patience.....

Boy, that's good news. Missing out on the build is bad enough, but, no track pics

I'm going to get an Otter "Survivor" case for it too...I'm hard on cases...this thing is rugged.

I have the Razor Maxx, Kevlar case and in a Otter case. I can throw that sucker in shear disgust and no foul. . Hey, we can probably start getting your post in real time or face time or what ever them kids call it.

Thanks Steve....I think it'll be fine.    Fussy parts!.....it could have been a simpler design I think if the case held all the gears, and then only had to mesh with 1 gear and datum...then the sump would just be a sump.

Eric....I'm looking over my plan.....what a racket!....this charge and that charge all add up to a whole lot a charges!

If I upload a picture directly...it's 25 cents.....or I can up to my PC then to PB...for free....so things to think about!

Might consider, Nikon CoolPics, photography's equivalent to the Bic lighter, does everything you want it to do till it just quits. Chunk it and start over.

1000 words is worth a picture Dave; Just joking, you've got a chance to make some secret progress now

My wife is on the horn with the various providers as we speak!....though I suspect we'll stay where we are.

I have picked up the original pump bore...concentric with the pump drive shown in an old picture here

the one on the right



This is the bearing surface, but I just bored it for a bronze bushing, and installed it...and once the Loctite kicks, I'll bore the bushing to finished size of .376.

Then I'll clamp the pump in, and pick up on the eccentric mounting hole, and then bore the case.....GOD talk about drama!....

This one has fought me the whole way....what a pain it the  !.

Dave

[steamer]

Alright!   Progress!

I got the cover fitted, located the oil pump with respect to it's drive, set up and bored the mounting spigot for the oil pump....a couple of tweeks...and bingo!....it's in!

I borrowed my son's camera,,,,,now I need to figure out how to down load it....but I do have pictures....bear with me.

I need to shorten the cover stud just a bit, but they look good!...  I opened up 3 of the 5 holes so the two extreme studs locate the cover,

I need to install the idler gear shaft, but I need to harden it and the idler gear first...and additionally, I need to cut a key way in the crank shaft gear.

Off to the crankshaft and cam shaft!.....and the head....and.....

Eagerly awaiting the pictures.

Yea Dave!

Picked up on the pump drive bushing, bored it and installed a bushing...then bored to size.

Gears installed.

I temporarily installed the pump in it drive bush, clamped it in, and then swept the locating diameter. and zeroed out the spindle right over this point.

I then installed the cover, and bored it to .875.    Then drilled and tapped the 2-56 holes for the pump mount.




And here it is installed.    I need to shorten the studs a bit.   but it set up nice!

As I have the block up on the angle block, I'll set up for the oil passages and some of the other features like the coolant flange.    Then I can take this off the angle block and set up to bore for the cylinders.   Once I have that, I can finalize the crank dimensions.

Still following along, Dave. You're making good progress!
