I could have eyeballed it and come close Zee, but the square was easier and likely a lot closer than my eyes. I didn't want the cylinder head to end up at some wonky angle however small

Well, seems second time is the charm, Bill.   

It certainly often is around here.....

Thanks Todd.  I am going to play around with some samples I sheared off of the blue tempered spring steel tomorrow and see if I can find a way to bend the stuff successfully. Will keep you posted.

Hi Bill, I am still there and following your build log.

The cylinder certainly turned out well Bill. I like how you blended the OD of the rings to the tangs. Always a bit of pucker factor when you tear into a major casting and have a bunch of hours in it...your careful persistence shows in the end product. Paul

Thanks for checking in guys. I did get all the tapping done on the collars so that was a relief too. They are done now. I did some roughing work on another pair of casting but no pictures of that to show yet. Also played around with bending the blue tempered spring steel and that went pretty well actually. I need to shear off some pieces closer to the width dimensions I need tomorrow at work so more to follow on that front as well in the next day or so.
