anyone interested in a radial team buid

[maverick]

Pat, Please send the updated piston drawing, I may be able to add the radius on the rest of the conrods.

Work on the flywheels is going slow but steady.

Will do ... expect it tomorrow (Sunday as I'm out the door).

I haven't changed the Con Rods drawing as it may not be necessary. Unless you want me too ... then I will!

Pat,
One more item, the angle on the collet and flywheel is 10 degrees included on Stew's drawing
and 10 degrees per side on the redraw. I'm going to make the parts 10 degrees included and we
can touch up the drawing later.

Good catch ... sending the drawings: Piston, Collet and Flywheel.


Thanks

Pat, Thanks for the drawings. Collets are finished, more work needed on the flywheels. Where do the con rods need radiused
to clear the pistons?

Actually, they fit with the changes made to the Piston.
I'm inclined to leave it up to the builder if a radius is needed. I'll know more in the next few
days. But we may not know for sure until we try to assemble the engine.

Will keep you posted.

Thanks,

Pat

Ottoboni, your parts were posted on Monday.

 

[chrispare]

So I am just about done here, How are we doing on the Nov deadline?

The only one I havent seen any report on is Dtanner (how you doing)

Cant wait to see everyons pieces.

i try my best to send all my stuff out. wooden bases, the screws the nuts and threaded rod. the engraver messed up the brass plaques so they wont be included in the first shippings but i will send them out later on if thats ok with everyone.

Warranator
Thanks a lot!

Pascal
That's OK to me if you take a little longer to ship all together: it will save you on shipping costs


I'm trying my best to meet the deadline but with so many tests at the end of this semester I may not be able to finish in november. If so, sure I'll finish and ship everything by december.

Parts update,
Con rods - complete
collets - complete
flywheels - rough turned
Crankshft nut - not started

Warranator, What 8mm thread pitch is on the crank, 1.00 or 1.25?
I'm making the nuts last so no hurry.

 

[Path]

Cylinders and Liners ... done.

By the way ... the holes for the tubes are about .120" but the tubes OD are
.125" (as expected) I opened mine up to .125" so now they slip through.
Should do them all that way or leave it to the builders? It's very easy to do just looking for
a preference. ??? ???

Pistons ... just haven't figured out the holding fixture yet. :-\
Wrist Pin ... have material just need to do it. No problem.


Will meet the deadline ... looking to finish sooner.

Maverick: You should receive the crank in time to make the nuts but if not the thread is a standard M8x1.25mm.

Dalem9: Received your parts in the mail yesterday, very nice job ;D

 

[maverick]

Warranator: Received the crank, it looks great. The test nut I made fits fine so it's off to
the lathe to make the real ones.

To PCW and t_ottoboni: If it would save you money on the shipping bill, Send your parts to me
and I will distribute them along with My parts. Sorry warranator, I thought of this too late to include you.

Hi guys

Got the orbital valves done, leaves me just the port flanges to do, so I don't anticipate
any problems finishing before the end of the month...

I received Dale's parts, they look really good!

Cheers, Joe

 

[warranator]

Nice work Joe.

 

[dalem9]

Hi All How is this engine going to be lubricated. Thanks Dale

 

[SBWHART]

It just needs a few squirts of oil into the crank case, not too much as you get an hydraulic lock, and a little between the bearings again not too much.

Stew

 

[dalem9]

Thanks Stew Dale

A query to whoever knows....

I'm a little lost trying to figure out what to do with the mounting holes in the port flanges
(part No 21): the drawing calls out a countersink for a 2mm flat head screw 8BA clearance,
I'm figuring that this attaches directly to the crankcase, where the presumably mating holes
are called out as M2. ???

So: what is the size of the clearance hole actually needed? (and if it is M? or ?BA could somebody
PLEASE translate that to an actual measurement? It would also be good to know what is the
angle of the countersink required for these new to me fasteners)

Cheers, Joe
