Last picture says everything - clean hand and finished complicated cylinder block. I do not want to offend anybody I am probably a bit jealous. P.S. I think in near future this...

    Ghosty's "V" Twin

    You are right 90 deg. Twin is a bit simpler for machining but i think that 60deg. Twin is nicer. I have question is there some advantage of 60 deg. twin opposite common inline two cylinder engine?. Ghosty sorry to interupt your thread .

    ESO engine machining

    Before drilling holes for screws which fasten head to the cylinder is needed the alignment of teeth pulley shafts. So I applied low temp. melting epoxy between cylinder and head , pushed rods through bearings in the crank case and in the head. Then I put rods on a glass sheet and by vice weight...
