Hi Bob, that looks like a good secure way to machine the faces square.

I am another who reads every post and would be most interested two see how you did those more complex parts.

Hi Bob, I have been a very long time familiar with this time issue between, life, work and shop time.
So I do understand your situation very well.
But for me it doesn´t matter if it is a long term or a short term project to watch.
Your project itself is very interesting and I do read every post with pleasure.
 


Kind Regards
Achim

Rear Main Cap-

This was a “fun” part to make.  I goofed a couple along the way. 

A one inch bar was placed in a collet in the Rivett 608.  A register was turned for future indicating.  The cap requires a .275 radius; so, a .550 diameter was turned.  A .250 diameter bore was also turned at the same time.  The dividing head was setup in the Clausing 8520 and the bar placed in the chuck.  The register was checked and the milling started. 

Five axis is a big buzz word in the cnc world.  This is a manual five axis setup.  A .375 endmill was used to mill away half of .550 diameter establishing the required .275 radius.  Next, the part was indexed and both the sides and width were milled..

Rear Main Cap continued-

The mounting holes were drilled and the height of the pads were milled.  Next the profiling of the .275 radius was done with a small endmill by taking light cuts and indexing by hand.  Once the radius was completed, the dividing head was set to 45 degrees and the side of the pad was milled.

Rear Main Cap continued-

The Main Cap was then sawn from the parent bar.  It was then placed on the same fixture as the other caps in the Atlas 618 and faced to size.  Next came some light handwork with sandpaper and Scotchbright.

I included a picture of the completed Main Cap flanked by two screwups.

Bob,
Great progress on the engine. Had to play catch up, life is in the way. I liked the process you used to make the rod caps, Have to file that away for future reference.

Except from the screws it looks exactly like a full size engine  :praise2:

Can you get matching bolts or are you forced to do those yourself ?

Don thanks for still tuning in.

Art thank you and I’m happy that you have filed that process away for future reference.  That has always been my hope that people find some useful nugget from these posts.

Per, I usually windup making the bolts because it is the only way to get the correct look.  However, I have a few small socket head cap screws that I have used to hold the oil pan and timing cover on.  I really like the look that they provide and McMaster Carr sells them from 0-80 and up in different lengths.

Oil Pan-

A parallel was indicated and clamped to the Benchmaster’s table.  The aluminum blank was banked against it.  Two J&S clamps were used to secure the blank to the table and two toe clamps were used as stops as an insurance policy.  The pocket was then roughed out.

Oil Pan continued-

The pan required a five degree angle for the side walls.  The head on the Clausing was set to five degrees and both inside walls were milled.  The pan was then moved back to the Benchmaster and a long reach endmill was used to rough the sides and the lips.
