New Build. 372xp case, an X-torq cylinder and a 575xp piston.

Dialing it in for the squish.

 

[Rich Fife]

1st pic you can see that I cut the squish flat and added a chamfer to narrow the squishband.
2nd pic you can see the depth.

 

[Rich Fife]

Now to layout the lower transfers and double check my numbers in order to layout the cylinder.

 

[Rich Fife]

Scribed line is how much Material has to be removed.

 

[Rich Fife]

Tool of choice... my handy dandy... so much faster.

 

[Rich Fife]

Squish came in at .0225"

 

[Rich Fife]

Got the numbers, now to adjust them.

 

[Rich Fife]

Marked the Exh. & X-fers...

 

[Rich Fife]

Playing with the lowers

 

[Rich Fife]

Getting everything on the bottom roughed out... then I'll pull the X-fer covers and raise the roof.

 

[Rich Fife]

Time to rough the X-fers.

Interesting stuff going on. Have always wanted to mess with pistons, even went so far as getting the endmill and drill rod material to move the pins, but have never attempted.

Hope it goes nice and smooth

Trial and error, right? Nothing gained if nothing is tried. Like we used to say in the Navy... "if you ain't f'n $h!t up, you ain't learning". Lol

 

[Rich Fife]

Blending the transfers while trying to keep as much material as possible.

 

[Rich Fife]

We got 80% of it roughed out... its not pretty. The cylinder had a lot of vertical lines... it is what it is... it'll run better than it did... lol.
I'll do the intake and stratos tomorrow/later.

 

[Rich Fife]

Figured I'd play around with the junk piston as it measures the same.
I might polish the exhaust... if I do, the exhaust might drop to 101-100*

Current numbers 102*/120*/81* squish is .0225"

Time to rough the X-fers.

is there a gouge in the side of that cylinder?

No, it's water. Zoom in you'll see.

 

[pbillyi69]

i zoomed in i just looks more like a big gouge but i see water in the bottom. opticle illusion
