He did it again.

Brian will fix that when next he logs in.

 

[BRIAN]

OOps did it again just to keen to finish it Sorry Lads, I will go fix right now

 

[BRIAN]

All OK now. If I had a brain just think how dangerous it would be.

Five followers made five to go. The parting off has a high pucker factor. I will be glad when it's over.

Brian.

 

[BRIAN]

At last all ten cam followers made.

The time has come to start cutting the cooling fins. when drawing up the heads these always seemed to be dictating part of the process for everything
Well it all works on paper so off we go. so far the heads have been made full depth without allowance for a gasket this has been done to save this area from possible damage it will be one of the last things to be done so the first cut allows for this and the spacing of the fins
I am doing all five heads together, set up once, then cut all five, then on to the next fin It's quicker to change the head than reset the cut
every time.



The progress so far.
