Hi David! Where do buy the magazines? I'm really interested on this engine. Thanks, Edi

Hi! The new Timing Cover is finished. The one on the left is the correct one. I will sand blast to give it a cast appearance and eliminate the marks of the tool. I’m thinking to do the same on the Block and Heads. Clearly, you can see the difference on the position of the hub (5mm). Lack of...

Hi! Bob, thanks for the tip. I will try that on the next project. A very nice fan on your Demon Steve. It must push a great amount of air thru the radiator. Michael, did you make the same mistake as did on the timing cover? Thanks for the recommendation. I decided to make another Timing...

Thanks Steve, you are right! My mistake, did not pay attention when drawing on the CAD. I will make another Timing Cover. I think shortening the fan blades will affect the air flow on the radiator jeopardizing the cooling of the engine. TKS, Edi

Welcome, Andrew! Do not worry about imperial, it is just a matter of converting. All my projects are imperial but I work in Metric. Here in Brazil, the system is metric and regarding fasteners such as bolts, threads..., I convert to the next closest to the imperial called on the project. Good...

Hi to everybody! A question/help for those that have built the PeeWee. Did you guys face the same problem shown on the photos below? The fan is interfering with the center line of the crankshaft consequently hitting the starting shaft. What did I do wrong? I already checked the drawings and the...

Thanks, John. I have learned a lot with the help of the members of this forum. Edi

For the Liners lapping operation, I used a brass lapping bar I have used a diamond paste for the final finishing. The inner surface come out very smooth The Pistons Milling the pocket for the connecting rod In order to assure the hight from pin center line to the top of the...

Here are some more pictures of the progress. It is not in sequence of construction. Turned the valves Grinding the valve stem using a adapted manual grinding o the lathe tool post Cutting off the the rings. I used a 1mm wide cut off tool Test of the ring on the piston groove I...

Hi to all! Thanks Brian. Steve, yes I added one more bearing. I had seen your recommendation in another thread and ordered one extra bearing for my PeeWee. With the pistons and connecting rod installed Everything was running smoothly than, I moved the block to the lathe for breaking...

Hi to all! As I do not like the process of soldering two halves of bronze for the bushings, I turn two complete bushings than machine out to the midle of the diameter so, we have two perfect halves Machining out to the midle of the diameter I made a kind of collet to machine the inside...

Preparing the blank for the connecting rods. This is the bottom portion of the connecting rod. I bored all the bolt holes including the small lubrication ones Than I bolted the lower portion to the upper one. Ready for the profile Finished connecting rods. I made a program on the...

The Lifter Bushings and Throtle rod With the PCV valve Preparing the blank for the Rocker Arm Next was the connecting rods Edi

And here is the "All Powered Crankshaft"

Some more details of the Crankshaft on the lathe. Turning the ends Machining the counter-weights Checking out how it fits on the block Before turning out the ends, what would cause to get rid of the center holes, I grinded the jornal to the final diameters Back to the lathe for...

Hello People! It has already passed several months since my last post on the PeeWe progress. Almost half year. The available time is short. Here is some info. about the progress. The crankshaft Blank ready for the lathe operation Roughing on the milling machine Ready for the main...

Hi Michael! Very good aproach. I'm also learning CNC programing. I did the flanges on CNC at one operation. It did work well. You are right, it is so satisfying when the pieces come out correct. Good progress on your PeeWee. Mine is on standby since last Christmas. I did some work this weekend...

Congratulations Angie! This is a state of the art job. Very well deserved project of the month. Edi

Really very nice looking!! I did love the combination of the cooper color with the aluminum. Congratulations. Michael, how did you fix the hall sensor on the distributor body undernith the Rotor? Edi

Hi Foketry! Another great project. I will be following your construction with great interest. I also have the plans for this engine. Good luck. Edi
