Students better like real project. I'll make a small dyno to hook up the engine too, so we will have many years of fun with that engine!!!

But i have to make it work!!! ;-)

I had some problems with the part in the second chuck, it wasnt holding it correctly. I did the second step with the dmu 50, again the part sliped in the chuck.

So, i will have to make some kind of jig or i will make it in 2 parts instead of one.

Making it one part take a LOTS of material...

So, i did the first step of the crank. I tried to do it one shot but i had vibration problems and i was not able to hold the part like i wanted to.

This one is good, i have +0.001" on every diameter, will test fit with bearings as soon as i get them.

I should do the second step and the counter weight today.

Ouch - the part slipping is rather annoying - has been there too  :cussing:

Other wise great parts.

That's some very nice CNC machining right there ! Just curious...Why 12L14 for the cylinders and not cast iron?
Never assume the implied task has been completed !!

Because i didnt have cast iron round bar handy ;-)

I will make the rings in cast iron.

I know it's not the best material for cylinders, but i saw some peeps doing their cylinders with c12L14 and cast iron rings.

It's my first engine built, but i plan to redo the cyljnders in aluminium and send them to be Nikasil plated.

What's your take on cylinders/rings material choice??

The case is almost done, i'll do the small oil passage hole tomorrow.

Nice  :)

I tend to think of the master-rod as the one straight up = cylinder no 1 .... not that it matters  ;)
