Something got me thinking. Can we check our torque wrenches with this device? Kel

Sounds Like Your getting close. How are the headers coming along? I was doing more experimenting with the liquid tape. I figured you might be interested. I took some pictures this time. I did not put anything on the "molds", just lathered some goop on. Here is a Penny With Three coats. It came...

Thats Awesome Jerry! I am very glad you made this thread. This is a relativly easy test to perform, and the results are indisputable. Kel

Nice Shop Tin! I like the shaper, and the seagulls in the windows makes me feel like I am at the beach :big: But the bench grinder right next to your mill makes me cringe ??? Kel

I love it ;D Kel

Well Done Hobb's!! This is a great project, with Awesome results. So, are you going to use it? Kel

Hey Steve, You mold master looks great. FWIW I was doing some more experimenting with the liquid tape. I painted 5 sides of an aluminum cube with three coats. I did not do anything to the aluminum, I just grabbed it out of the scrap pile and used as is, without cleaning. Once it all set up I...

Steve, I checked the blob today. It indeed shrunk quite a bit. The diameter stayed about 1/2", but it shrunk down in the mold from about 3/8" to 3/32". My brushed on try worked OK. The shrinking took out most of the lumpynes. It works very well as an insulator for the spark. I coated a brass...

Well Done Pete, sounds great!! Kel

Hey Steve, It has been a few hours since the blob, it flattened out after a bit and got about 1/16" thick. It feels and stretches like electrical tape and did not stick to the quarter I had it on. I also made a makeshift mold from a bar of acetal. I made a pocket 1/2" wide x 3/8" deep. I filled...

Hey Steve, have you found a solution for your spark plug boots? FWIW I was roaming the hardware store today and I found this http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=liquid+tape+electrical&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=18186099926093426484&sa=X&ei=cd86Toa3GePjsQKHouUP&ved=0CFQQ8wIwAg I...

I have not been able to get on to Enco's Web Site for a few days. Anybody els having trouble? Kel

This may depend on what you have for tooling. Single point gear cutting is relatively easy to do, but you will need some way of indexing the teeth, and you will have to make a holder to fit in your mill for a tooth ground HSS cutter. If I am not mistaken the dremel drill press's pinion gear is...

It is looking real great Steve! Truly a work of art. :bow: What do you have left to do? It seems like your real close to getting some 'Music' from her. Kel

Thanks Graig! Here is a chart I made from an average of a few runs. I think I still need to refine my method a little bit, but I am getting a pretty consistent curve. Kel

It has been awhile since I posted in this thread. I am about 75% complete with the drawings and am continuing to work on them. I will be posting in this thread when the plans will be available. After a month or so of computer work I got anxious to do some shop work. I seen a post from...

Well Deserved George, you are a great asset to the model building community. :bow: :bow: To revise Steve's Scale, it should go to Eleven, thats "One Louder" :big: Kel

Jerry, I will have to try some experiments with sheilding the the optical timing light. I hooked up this experiment to my TI4 this morning. I was able to get readings, but it is a real jumble trying to rev the engine, adjust the prony brake, hold the tach, and read all the dials at once. I am...

That is pretty cool Jerry, I want to do this with my TI4, but the digital tach gets interference from the ignition module and I would have to use my mechanical tach which also takes a tiny bit of torque away from the engine. I got some nice finds on E-bay, a few Chatillon Push/Pull force...

FWIW I figure I would post an update for those who want to scale this carb. I have a 3/8" Bore 1/2" Stroke 4 Cylinder. I scaled the carb down 1/4 of the drawings. I ended up tweaking the dimensions. The barrel has a .067" hole and I have had good luck with this combo, the adjustment screws are...
