Couple of heavy boxes are headed out.

A part this simple could be made from Delrin/nylon as a full length brick of material and then just cut shims from the brick. Core bit in a router, and a block of material cut on a table saw.

I’m waiting on the last little bit of rod I needed after some failed bits. Rod should be in tomorrow morning-ish and as long as nothing explodes I should be able to ship out Saturday. Thanks for your patience guys.

Yeah doing all the tapping in the mill/ drill presses. Process everything to length from the bandsaw to the lathe just as you did. I have a stop in the head stock and using a collet chuck. Face everything to length and then move to the cross holes. Basically do all the steps they all need...

Yep I did not properly estimate how many times you have to handle each rod. They get really labor intensive. The way I’m setup now I use a jig block for the cross holes. 3 spindles all going at once. Cross hole is drilled with a bushing in the block, pull the bushing and the next spindle...

I’m so happy that box showed up.

yeah I’ve been watching it. I don’t see how the box hasn’t been scanned at some point to atleast say it’s safe at a certain building.... it’s just “on its way to destination”.

Who wants to play migrant factory worker. Job pays in beer lol.

Ok so I’m alive. Sorry to everyone that has been waiting on these. I didn’t mean to disappear. I’ll be finishing up the parts tomorrow after I get the mill setup.

are these clamshell engines?

Glad it was simple.

That should work

I should. Have a case with all the crap in it.

I’ll check mine in the morning. If I remember right it’s right at the tip of mine. Definitely the more you shrink the cc size of the chamber the higher your numbers should be. Measure the plug from the end of the threads to the gasket and try to get your hose to match that.
