How did you keep the cylinder liners from spinning during the machining?

Vince

The liners are pressed in. I also put a dab of green loc-tite on them.

Went to a small engine show last week, and a guy there showed me how he does the cams in a lathe. Very interesting.

What show did you go to? Was it in southern Ohio?

Hello All!

Found some garage time so i sprang into action. Setup the block and indicated it in.




Took a cut across the deck surface to get the liners down to the deck height.




Then I ran a boring bar thru the cylinders to bring the holes to size. and called that done.




Then I made the 32 lifter bushings for both blocks.



Tomorrow the other block will get finished.

I thought the liners would be steel, no?

Thanks,
Dave

Yes, steel liners, aluminum pistons, cast iron rings.

Hello all!

Managed some garage time today. Worked on the bell housing.

I still need to drill the hole pattern to mount the piece but that should be a quick deal!

The valve corvers took forever but all went well. I put a piece of sawed off stock in the mill and drilled the mounting holes and did all the machine work for the bottom side. All was done CNC. All 6 of them.





The block was rotated around holes were drilled to create the counter bore for the screw heads.




The top of the valve cover was brought to size




Then the edges of the counterbore were rounded off with a itty bitty endmill.




Last the corner rounding endmill was used to finish off the top and create the top protrusion.





While I was waiting on the mill I was busy tapping everything that needed to be tapped.
