The engine runs and sounds great. Nice Job. :bow:

I also just wanted to say congrtas to DEANOFID on the web site have spent many hours on there, very interesting site lots of neat things.

I just wanted to say that i own a taig mill and am also very pleased with the purchase. Unlike the cheap machines when you turn a taig dial .001 you get .001. I have had my taig about five years and the only thing i had to do is replace the headstock bearings this year and i bought the best...

I just found this thread and can't believe the craftsmenship on this build it is unreal. Congrats it looks great. Can't wait to see the video of it running. :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

The supercharger looks amazing. How many hours of machining was that?

The engine is looking great, can't wait to see and heard it run. Your work is really awesome.

Thanks i will see if that number will work with my bearing supplier.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Hi does anyone happen to know the bearing number for the bearings in the head of a regular spindle for a taig milling machine. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.

I have found out that most of the knives are made out of tool steel i was just wondering what grade i should use.

I need to make knives for a siding slitter. The knives are 3" around 3/4 thick. They cut alum siding. What type of metal should i use for this.

Really nice looking group of tinys. Love the colours, really adds to the engine. Nice work.

Looking really good. Loving all the pics that you are taking. Always enjoy the mini v8 builds.

I have done alot of parting off with a mini-lathe i always used low gear and find that the thinnest partoff tool works the best with quite a bit of feed more then you think. There was someone on this board that uses hack saw blades and grinds them like cut off tools and made a holder for them...

Glad to see your got it running, and all the helpful hints that everyone gave. Great site.

I'am glad to hear the good news best of luck tomorrow, can't wait to see the video of it running.

Good to hear you are narrowing down the issue i was just about to see if you did the leakdown test that was posted before. I find that to be a very helpful test being a tech. I hope that the intake valve fixes the issue.

Brain i can't remember if you did this or not, but did you try using valve grinding compound and an a drill to get your valves to seat. I'am sure you thought of this.

Hi this is a very interesting build. I have a few questions first want is parkinzing, second i noticed that you use round tools for your lathe is there a reason for this or just that is what you like, are they easier to grind?
