Thanks for the bail-out Chris. The wheelbarrow ride didn't leave much of a mark at all. The pistons and rods look great. Look forward to the valve levers and valves. (especially the valves with the sneaky bypass passage. Got some ideas how to do the ones for my B-E B-2 shovel engines, but always game to see a new approach by the shop elves. as long as they don't approach with a keg....... )
Hi Chris, great progress. Does these pistons have a floting fit at the piston rods ?If not, may be assemble machining , the last .001' of outer diameter, will be helpfull for a good sliding in the cylinder cover.I mean the rod clamped in the chuck an final machining of the piston.
Chrris.....Possibly I have missed it in the text, but are the pistons themselves a Grey Iron?........... that bar stock looks very smooth & shiny & I cannot see any shavings..... Derek
Now that’s starting to look the part Dog. It just keeps getting better always great work Chris!.... Don
Levers and engine assembly are looking great Chris! My suggestion would be to lever alone a while in the pickle. >ahem<LEGAL DISCLAIMER:NO GUINNESS WAS CONSUMED PRIOR TO OR DURING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ABOVE BAD PUN.
