Hit me - Miss me?

Hi Bob,the valves can be swines at times. Not trying to tell my granny how to suck eggs but I find a valve seat cutter and very very fine diamond paste or smokers tooth powder to lap em in and only the slightest bright ring when they are done.
Good luck you will get there.
kind regards Frazer

Guys I'm sorry this is so excruciatingly slow and I must admit that I'm just a tad peeved at 2steps forward 1step back. That said, I refuse to let a couple of bits of steel get the upper hand so I will spend the rest of this week licking my wounds.

Living remote from the workshop can't help either. I'm hard pressed to force meself down the 12 steps to mine in this weather.

Hi Bob
good to see you are making progress. Sparks, compression, fuel is all that you need to make it go bang. Then you have to get the cam and ignition timing correct and the correct air fuel ratio and it has to run.
You have done well considering the interruptions and distance between home and shop.

Next time I loose compression, I just need to remember to brush my teeth!
Things are sounding good, Bob!

Hi Bob,
Just a little clarification if you don't mind, after ginding the valves with toothpaste do you rinse it off with Listerine or is that only indicated for use on Lister engines??? :big:

Keep at it mate

I still do when Galina serves Galupsi

Next time I loose compression, I just need to remember to brush my teeth!

Na, Galupsi is more effective.

Following on from another thread, I rinsed with a large dollop of BGR. :

Now then fellas, if you want a finer grind on your valves, denture paste is best (it leaves no scratches ) serious : ;D

Well, slap me sideways

I actually made some bits for the electrics today. Did I wire it up..................well my intentions were good but I had taken my electrical toolbox home for a little honey do sparking and so..................all my connectors and solder etc. were a mere 60km from me.

Ah well there's always next week..........back to the boiler

Best Regards
Bob

Hi Guys

Thanks for hanging in there guys.

We have IGNITION................I have also demonstrated my in depth knowledge of Holme's Law as the wiring clearly shows.

Best Regards
Bob
