I had one of the posters of Mike Hailwood on the 6 cylinder Honda racer in my room when I was growing up . That bike was so impressive to a 9 year old ! animal

I keep looking at your in post 74 & your in the neighbor hood for a Harley 45 flathead engine tough they used 4 cams but I think I can see where it can be done with one cam & some relocating of the valve setups ...

I'm not finding any specs on them . How large are they ? animal

The three slots make sense with the mention in the original post for T-nuts , but I don't know where they go from there . animal

I can't say what it . but they look like they defiantly have/had a purpose . animal

I've always been amazed just how much punishment those old 239's could take for a motor with only 3 main bearings . Those Flatheads done right are one of the sexiest motors out there . animal

This will be my first experience dealing with Shars . I found shopping from their Ebay store they seem to have better prices than in their cataloges & they don't jack you as much for freight on some items . But I don't get how they do it . Look at the shipping differences here . Gage blocks...

They can be used for different sizes of standards & for verifying height of parts to name a few . animal

Do you have , or have access to a good machinist level ? Be prepared to spend some time on the process . I couldn't believe how much time I spent moving the level back & forth up & down the lathe bed . Through some good fortune I have 3 Starrett levels now ! Cut the time in half ! Good Luck animal

I have a 1966 GMC dump truck with that 351 V6 & I was amazed when it I first drove it with 21,000 lbs gross vehicle weight . I had 12,000 + lbs of gravel & it pulled it with no problem . I did use all 5 speed's & split the rear end few times , but it didn't let me down . animal

You may want to take the chuck apart . Every chuck I have bought & seen that came from over the left ocean had a bunch of grit & swarf inside . Have you gotten all the twist out of the lathe bed ? animal

Your lathe has to be setup with no twist in the bed , that may or may not be level to achieve no twist . animal

I've been trying for a week to get a digital subscription & none of my attempts have gone through . Wondering if it's cause I'm in the US & not UK ? animal

On the Harley 45 Flathead they had 4 cams under the cam cover to run the 2 sets of valves . Must have worked ok seeing as how they made that engine up until 1973 . animal
