Great progress Chris......a few general questions..1. do you blue the bushes prior to commencement of lapping?2. do you use a piece of on size true straight bar as the lapping mandrel, or the actual bigend journals?3. will you dowel the caps when on position, or just leave it to the bolts to align the caps when tightening down?Derek
I think reciprocating motion is going to happen soon...... (And not just by the elves swinging on the chandelier and flailing their arms!)
The crosshead and the rod seem to clear a certain broached squared area in the crosshead guide without any trouble..... Nicely done! Always amazed at your fast rate of work.
Chris,Looking good, seems you have several more parts done when I check in. Dangerous thing having Guinness anywhere near the shop elves you know how they are when they've had to much to drink, chucking things everywhere regardless of what project it's from. Art
Please don't talk about snow - we're getting more of that tomorrow despite the calendar telling me its spring...Great progress - your work craft inspires me to keep w**king so I can retire one day and play in my workshop. Mike
