Hello guys! After many attempts to start the PeeWee, I gave up and decided to tear it apart for a complete checking of the components. I did not find anything wrong. However, I was not getting good compression with the Cast Iron rings. Based on my experience with the Tiny Inline 4 that I used...

Congratulations! Top Noch project and work. Very nice low idle. Also interested in the plans. Edi

Hi Foketry! Thank you for the Photos. That is the same process I'm using on my PeeWee V4 but the hole is getting about 0,02mm tapered. I remember someone here saying that this type of lapping causes the hole tapered. Thanks, Edi

Hi Foketry! Great work, congratulations! You are progressing fast. Could you post some pictures of your lapping tool and also how you used it? Thanks, Edi

Hi Don! I understand your comment I agree. Take a look at the manual to know if it has understandable English for you. http://www.ddcnc.com/upload/product/DS_DDCSV3.1.pdf When I needed help on the configuration of the 4th Axis they gave prompt good support. And here the manual from the other...

Hi Don! Take a look at this one. I'm using it on my tabletop milling machine, (you do not need a computer, it is a stand-alone controller). Workes very well https://www.ebay.com/itm/Digital-Dream-4-Axis-CNC-Standalone-Offline-Motion-Controlle-DDCS4-V3-1-DDCSV3-1-/273691306050 Also, take a look...

Hi to all! I'm in dought about the correct firing order of the PeeWee. Is it 1-3-4-2 or 1-3-2-4? I found the two information on Bob's drawing page 13 Rev 3. I first set to 1-3-2-4 and was showing puffs only on the left bank which is cylinders 1 and 3 then I set to 1-3-4-2 and it started...

Hello guys! Tomorrow I will have the rings finished. I have purchased a circular saw with 0.2mm (.0078in) thickness to split the rings. I will spring the rings using Bob's method "To spring the ring, the circularity must be altered, certainly not anywhere near the gap but at it's natural...

Congratulations, it will be another brilliant work from you. Will be following with great interest. I also have the plans and the book. Edi

Hi Jos! OK. A picture is worth of a thousand words! I got it. Very clever test. I will use this method. Yes, I lapped the valves using Clover Leaf Fine grinding paste. I also re-lap them last night. Thanks for your help Tks, Edi

Hi to all! Mago, thanks for your advises. I will use the oil test after installing the new Pistons and Rings. I already finished the new pistons. Tonight I will make the new rings. I also gave a very light skin pass on the top of cylinders banks to assure its flatness. Will make new gaskets...

Hi Jos! Thanks for your recommendations. I took a look on your Eduard Radial but did not find that. What page is that? Tks, Edi

Hi Steve! I'm using a battery driller machine. I think it spins little over 2500 rpm. As planned I was able to finish the Pistons. Does someone have any trick or tip for installing the rings on the pistons without breaking too many nor scratching the surface of the pistons? Tomorrow I will...

Hello to all! Bad news. The little beast refuses to start. It just showed some puffs and nothing else. I checked the camshaft timing several times and showed to be correct. I also checked and rechecked the position of the rotor on the distributor. Nothing wrong here. Reading the tips from...

Very well done Terry, congratulations! I followed every post of your build. It was a superb machining work as well as, the quality of your posts. Question: Are you going to make available the drawings reflecting the changes/improvements you have made? Thanks, Edi

Hi Bhusted! Very nice work, congratulations! You should think about making this wonderful work to run. Edi

Hi Cogsy! Thank you I already printed ithe instructions and will use that this weekend.;) Edi

Hi to all! Need help:( I could not find information on the plans how to time the camshaft with the crankshaft. I tried to do it on my way with my limited knowledge but it did not work. Could someone help giving me some hints/tips on how to time the camshaft? Thanks, Edi

Thanks John! I liked how the sandblast finishing come out. As I said before I plan to sandblast the block and the sides of the heads. Edi

I have sand blasted the timing cover and assembled on the block to check if it is OK now. Yes, it is OK the hub was shifted 5mm (.2inch) to the up side Edi
