Well the brass is polished and everything loaded; My buddy Max and I will be heading for Portland Oregon early in the morning, it's about a 7 hour trip for us. If any one happens to make it to the show stop and say hi. Dave

I have no experience with this machine; only on my converted Bridgeport clone running Mach. It appears that neilw20 will be able to offer much more help than me. Dave

Just to be clear when you press reset the motors should turn on and lock but not move. When you press (ref all home) then the axis should home one at a time. is this when the Z moves? The Z should home near the top of its travel; I wouldn't want a machine to extend the z axis while homing, that...

Is your E-stop loop good? when you press the reset button on the Mach screen do the motors turn on and lock into position? I'm guessing not. Dave

Hi Dougie I think that it would be best to pipe the propane into the same spot as the liquid fuel; If you use the location that you are talking about you will probably have enough vacuum to open the demand valve and pull fuel but no way to meter it. The propane needs to have needle valve...

Thanks for checking in Dave. I appreciate the comments. Dave

Hi Dougie I have been enjoying the progress on your engine build; too bad about the rocker arm mount. It looks like you were able to recover with out too much trouble. Your fabrications are great! it is always fun to see how others tackle these challenges. Thanks for taking the time to...

Hi Everyone I finally was able to carve out some time to work on the piston trip ignitor. The cylinder casting had bosses cast for the feed throughs; but the way my cylinder finished up I wasn’t completely happy with the position of the boss relative to where the holes should be...

Thanks for checking in Myrickman, I appreciate the kind words. Dave

Nice work and beautiful castings! Thanks for sharing, Dave

Hi everyone I was able to spend some time late last month and got the engraving done on the Lunkenheimer grease cups. Armed with a new spring-loaded diamond engraver from 2L and some encouragement from Gary Hart, I gave it a try. The geometry was created in Solid Works using a photo of...

Beautiful as usual Dave! Can you tell me a little about the construction of the governor valve? Was it drilled from each end or? I'm surprised that more people don't comment on this amazing piece of craftsmanship? Thanks for posting, Dave

Congratulations Stan! Well deserved. Dave

Beautiful! It sure would be nice to see some of the steps you went through to create this little masterpiece?? Dave

Interesting project; it will be fun to follow along with your work. Dave

Wow it sure looks nice Dave, But really; the Interact ran for almost 5 days on this operation? or is this a typo? After a few hours of fettling it is going to look as nice as the rest of the engine. On the lower filler pieces for the base you commented that they were a challenge to fit; were...

Hi Terry Wow amazing progress so far! I'm really enjoying the CNC aspect of your work; The crank case assembly is a work of art! Thanks for posting. Dave

Dave that is really cool; I can't even imagine trying the think of everything I would need to build an engine while working away from home. Keep us posted on the outcome. Dave
