Steve,
I guess your starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Looking good....
RICH

Light? Where?

I figure when the heads are done, I will be half done. Then I need to tackle the short block/rotating assy.

omg, boy is that small, I just finished a rocker project for CompCam. I should send them that photo, LOL too funny, Good job keep up the fun work. Nice job.

You could send the photo if you want to. I'm sure they would get a kick out of it. Love there products. Everything between my cam and valves was Comp on my big Chevy.

Does Comp have a product that looks like these?

Hello All!

Well, I'm one step closer to having the rockers done. I managed to mill the slot in the nose of the rocker. I had some boo boo's along the way that I managed to fix sorta. Good thing these are hidden under valve covers!! I have three things to do still. I need to cut some clearance in the nose for the spring retainer. The rocker will pop the retainer off if i don't. Then the tail will get counterbored and threaded to accept a 2-56 screw. This will allow the pushrod to push on the screw instead of the aluminum rocker.

I am doing all this because I wanted to make some cool rockers. A much simpler rocker could be made in 1/4 the time. What the h7!! was I thinking.

Cross lifters off the list. Both sets are complete. I am hoping to get back to rockers this weekend.

Hello All!

I made a few valve spring retainers this morning.

I turned the OD on a piece of 1/4 inch brass about an inch long and faced the end.



Then spot drilled and drilled the ID about an inch deep.



Then I used an endmill to make the flat bottom pocket for the spring clip.



Then I cut a groove deep enough to create the step in the bottom that will insert into the spring.



Then just move over the length of the step and part off the piece. Then starting with the step of making the pocket with the endmill, I continued until the inch of turned material was gone. It took 4 cycles of 1 inch of rod to make 43 pieces with 2 boo boo's.





That's it for the day. I have a half dozen or so club members coming over to hang out, eat, and brain storm about getting there stuff going. Should be a great day!!

Maybe some of your enthusiasm will rub off on me.

What are you working on? Or not working on that you wish you had time for.

Hello All!

I finished all the bottoms and all that is left is to mill the hex on the shaft so they can be installed. For that I just used the rotory table in the mill with a collet holder in the center of the table.  I have made 120 pieces in the last 2 weeks and now I have to make the valve spring retainers, 40 of them.

what spark plugs do you use for an engine like this?

I will be making my own. They will have a 8-40 thread. Say some prayers.

You got your wish Sam!!

Hello All!

Finished all the valves tonight. Everything went according to plan.




Had a little extra time so I got a jump on the rocker studs.
