New block update.
I finally had some time to do some machining on the first sample block this morning. I'm not machining it on the production HMC I will end up using but it will work anyway. Nice little CNC machine. I was able to get the distributor hole bored and all of the head bolt holes drilled and tapped, and drop a head gasket on and fit a head on. Looks good. I cut the valve holes to size and drilled the valve guide holes. I need to get a .5938 reamer in to ream the holes and then I can back spot face the spring seats. I hope to have Kevin Prus Jr. Bore the cylinders for me since the machine I am working on is too small for my CAT 50 boring tool. While he does that I will get back to my normal insanity.
Just in case 1 or 2 of you wanted to know. Tod |
