Hello Bob, what lapping compound are you using? Diamond paste or something else? MM

Hi guys.
Just a few words: Never ever use Diamond paste as lapping compond on internal parts on a engine DIAMONDS ARE FORWER.

Nick,

Your contributions here sure inspire me, its a much better alternative than getting expired. : :bow:

Crankshafter,

Thanks for the advise re diamond compound - looks like you've opened a can of worms. We all have our opinions and that's what helps to make the world go round. :bow:

Chuck,

Thanks for your kind words and support. :bow:

So - Lapping - At great expense below is a video of me in action. :big: :



After that the piston ready for counterboring is a bit of an anti-climax. ;D

Enjoy your day.

Bob,

I couldn't peel myself away from that video. It had me on the edge of my seat. Definitely Academy Award material. ;D

Seriously though, for a newbie like me, it is very informative.

Thank you,

the other Bob

Being a complete novice it was very informative, thanks for posting. :bow:

Bob, once again thanks for taking the time to share your work and techniques with all of us. The lapping video was a great lesson :bow: :bow: :bow:

Cheers,
Phil

Would it be safe to say that the membership is "lapping it up"?

 

[mu38&Bg#]

I'm impressed with the rate of progress on your engine. Keep it up.

The above had me rolling in the aisles :big: :big:

Seriously - Thanks Guys :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

Thanks Bob, That was great!

Would it be safe to say that the membership is "lapping it up"?

<bad pun>It could also be said that we are "honing" our skills by watching Bob's progress.</bad pun>

 

[Maryak]

Kevin and Gavin,

Thanks guys,

If nothing else it's honing my skills. :bow: :bow:

Not a lot today, an old Navy mate dropped in and by the time we'd finished telling lies about the past it was time to take Mrs M shopping.

Photobucket is under maintenance so I will edit this post later and add todays feeble effort.

Best Regards
Bob

Edit - Counterboring the piston

 

[Maryak]

Another day at the fang farrier - progress zero :

Best Regards

I loved the video but it's an interesting choice of music - Flight of the Bumblebee from Tale of the Tsar Sultan. It's too flighty; you need something with a bit more grit to it - something abrasive but not as in heavy metal rock.

For anything I might produce, the best choice would probably be The Death of Siegfried from Wagner's Gotterdammerung (sp?). At best, the Flight of the Valkeries from (amazingly enough) The Valkerie might work.

Ah, well.

BEst regards,

Kludge

Kludge & Tel,

Thanks fellow music lovers :

We are metal workers are we not, surely then the theme music should be Coro di zingari otherwise known as the "Anvil Chorus".

Now back to the lathe and mill!

If I was a blacksmith :

Actually managed to get a little done today.

The set up for cross drilling the gudgeon pin hole.

Machining the slot for the conrod.

Parting off the piston.

The piston and conrod.

Some 316SS for the gudgeon pin.

And so ends another week - Avagoodweekend.
