Hi Chaps,

The beginning of a new engine built from stock no casting

Of the Borderer design with 5/8 bore 5/8 stroke majority built from cast iron

Reversing gear too!

Pictures of parts as I make them !

No problem Jo,

Here’s the crankshaft sorted

Gone for more traditional counter weights, Nice and true and spot on dimensions

That's a nicely executed crankshaft. Well done!

[Team ricky]

Cheers!

Here’s the cylinder blank in cast iron

A fair bit of machining to do on this stock !

One side’s channel machined

Here’s the cylinder blank ready to bore

I’ve got to wait on drills and reamers to do the next step!
