Next I took the cylinder out of the lathe and laid the faced side down on my face plate. I set it up on some flat washers to give me some clearance for the boring bar when I punch out the bore. I added some bed clamps as counter balance also.
Then back in the lathe with the centering indicator.
That's it for today, after 5 hours the shop is a disaster again! Time to find the bottom of the bench again and start boring the #1 cylinder tomorrow and work on the other side of the first cross head.

No machining today, started to clean up the shop. I had it looking real good and was going to start back on the engine and then came the idea to add some more benches. So I did.....18 more feet! It looked a little dark, so I wired up a few more lights also. So now the rest of the shop is a mess again with wood working and electrical stuff now. Its in worst shape now than before..... ::)

This looks like a neat project and I will be looking forward to following it as it progresses. Thanks, 1hand!

Check those washers are the same thickness before you bore. It's important to get the bore dead square to the lower cylinder head flange...so take your time here and really check them.

Looks like you are off to a good start Matt, I like the addition of work benches you can ever have to many.i I find when I work, that gremlins keep moving my tools as I can't seem to find them after I have layed them down even with more work space. Great start on your project Matt.
