Thanks Simon!....I think I've knocked down most of the hard parts....with the exception of the crank and finishing the head.

The rest shouldn't be so bad.

Things always look on the Up-and-Up if there's gears mounted on it  ;D

Good going Dave  :ThumbsUp:

Kind regards, Arnold
Building an engine takes Patience, Planning, Preparation and Machining.
Procrastination is nearly the same, but it precludes machining.
Thus, an engine will only be built once the procrastination stops and the machining begins!

Thanks Arnold!....its been one distraction after another...but I finally got that gear case cover on and machined.   

Next the rest of the drilled holes, but not today.   I'm having an allergic reaction to some food I ate....and I'd welcome someone peeling my skin off right about now! :ShakeHead:

Another day.

Well before the meds kicked in, I got some of the oil galleries drilled....no drama...I'm going to try to go to work today.

I'm still following along. Every little bit made is progress. I'd probably just stay home today and work some more in the shop, so you know if you are really ready to go to work. :naughty:

Hi Dave,

Get well buddy, stay warm, wear boxing gloves so you don't scratch the rash etc.

Best Regards

Yeah, your too busy eating to build engines. Steroids make you hungy.

At the moment, I don't feel a damn thing!...good stuff these prescriptions!.... :lolb:
Going in for an allergy test in a couple weeks so we can figure out what the hell happened.....after the meds leave the system.

Hi Dave
 
I'm still spectating here and enjoying your work.
 
Sad to hear about the allergy.
Yeah! you have to find out what food you need to avoid?
 You can do without shoptime interuptions like that.
 
Hope you're recovering well.

Got just a little time yesterday and finished the first cross drilled lube holes to the mains and spot faced and tapped 10-40.   I'll make up fittings much later.

I have to drill the 3/32 x 3" deep main lube gallery hole next....gonna make sure I have some GOOD drills for that one though! :zap:

The medical situation is improving dramatically...still on the steroids...but I'm feeling much better.   

I'll try to take some pictures this evening....
