Great to see you had some shop time, Dave!That's nice looking gear, for sure! Kim
Slick setup! And knowing when to walk away and rest/reset is a key workshop skill.
Very impressive!!In the picture of the real engine, the gear teeth extend above the crank sides. Did you change the gearing on your design, or is that gear not there yet?

Did you change the gearing on your design, or is that gear not there yet? The real engine is plain bearing, I'm using 25 x 32 x 4mm ball bearings. Those are the parts sitting above the crank gear
Hello Dave,The crankshaft came together quickly towards the end, and before the end of your holiday break. Well done, it looks fantastic.Did you measure the run-out before each section was added? If not, you can always mount and clamp two adjacent bearings to Vee blocks and check the runout of the each section. The whole cranksfaft looks long and flexible, so the eight equi-spaced bearings should have little difficulty in pulling out a few thou of run-out, That is, if there is any.Fantastic workMike
