Hi Achim

Like the video showing the cams, rockers, head, and valves.  Looks to work very well.  I’ve been following along with your posts, just haven’t been commenting much.  I really appreciate you work and attention to detail.

Hi Per,
Hi Dave,
thanks for asking and posting again to this thread.
I am fine, no reason for any worries.
The first summer time in retierment has changed my mind a bit.
So more outdoor activities has got more priority.
In the background I am just up grading my little CNC mill with a new spindle, a separate report will follow soon.
Also a new CAD model of the IHC Titan 50 HP is nearly finished, also here an introductoin will follow soon.
So I will be prepared for the comming winter time.
May be next week the BME will get some more attantion again also.

Hello Achim

Welcome to the retirement club. 

Remember to get as much done as quickly as you can, before the energy levels begin to fade away.    It happens to us all. 

Stay safe

Mike

Glad all is OK      A lot of people have adjusted their priorities in the current situation. We too are outside in nature whenever the weather allows.

All good reasons not to post here - glad to hear that there's no problems

Thanks all for the friendly comments.


Weather is getting colder so the shop will get more interest in near future again.
Looking at my last posting of the BME progress, there are some things missing if I look at the engine at the bench now.
I will try get it up to date step by step.
Nothing spectacular, but some, in my understanding very important and very necessary jobs to get the engine finally and hopefully running at the end.
I have bought from Roy at S/S a Satra 4 cylinder distributor and rotor.
The lower part of the distributor is not usable here, it will look more than ugly at this engine.
The parts are in the CAD now and my next job was to design a proper lower part for this unit.
My cam shaft is made by 5 mm drill rod but the rotor has 4,7 mm  hole only.
I thought it was better to adjust the shaft and not the rotor.
Everything has to be in the right position, also the gap between the rotating connector and the cap has get some attention.
After getting the final design now, I have started with the lower part of the distributor, made by a piece of black POM.
See pictures below, including one boo-boo.
I have needed two attempts to get the grove for adjustment into the right position.
Will be continued soon.

Glad to see you back in the workshop   

Are you parting off with the tool upside down and the lathe in reverse?
