Hi Bill
Dropping the project for a while has been rewarding, being on top of the problems all the time leads to overthinking some of them .
some perceived problems have simply disappeared after the rest.
Strangely I did not miss the shop but I am glad to be back. I think I missed H M and all of you more.

The parts for this job are a 1mm drill and a 1 mm end mill plus a length of 1mm pivot steel.
The cross holes in the shaft where drilled first.
Then the slots in the pulley's
Cross pin cut to length.
And the shaft's assembled.
I am now waiting on the delivery of an ER 40 collet chuck so I can make the remaining camshaft pulleys

At last I can fit the rear cover with all the works inside apart from the oil seals that separate the wet gear case from the dry belt casing
the outer bearings will be covered with caps that will set the end float for the shaft's ,these in turn will be retained by the pressure and scavenge oil
pumps that will be co axial to keep the size down.
The ER 40 chuck has arrived so now I can continue with the camshaft pulleys and then the belt tensioners.
