Very good, I recall my own efforts went on for months until I got decent results!

Vixen:
Hello Mark,

Wow, that's a fantastic achievement. Well done. :ThumbsUp: :ThumbsUp: :ThumbsUp: :ThumbsUp: :ThumbsUp:

There is nothing in the world like the excitement and joy of knocking the mold box into the sand pit and finding the gleaming metal of your first successful casting sitting in the burnt sand and still too hot to handle.

So, we have the first ever flathead V8 Seal pup!!!!  Does your newborn engine have a name yet? That's sure going to be an interesting engine build to follow.

What metal did you use? Was it an ingot of 'new' metal or did you recycle a mountain of empty Fosters tinnies?

The core material looks untouched by the heat. What did you use for that?

Is that a centre bearing I can see?

Well done: Bravo Bravo

Mike
