machined up the flywheel....Man it looks just right on the engine, good choice Bill.

 

[cheepo45]

Nice casting!
It polished up really nice. What did you use for raw material?
See you tomorrow at Cabin Fever.

[aonemarine]

The raw material was an old sump pump casting and some cast iron bracket. I test the scrap by drilling it then rubbing the chips between my fingers to determine how much graphite is in it...Yea real high tech huh?

 

[jixxerbill]

That looks great man...I cant wait to see in person...Bill

Terry

 

[aonemarine]

Thanks Terry!! Boy my ego is going into overload LOL

Bill Your fly wheel made it to the cabin fever expo....where were you? Ill mail your goodies out on monday....had to show them off a bit....

 

[jixxerbill]

I would have loved to been there!! My truck just would have been so hard on fuel it was out of the question this year, maybe next year.. My wife wouldn't let me get her car out of the garage just yet, she still worried about another snow and getting salt all over it.. At least she wants to take care of it I guess..Bill

 

[aonemarine]

Bill, I hope you can make it next year, it was quite a show. Now I have to ask myself, do I call out sick tomorrow? After all its the last day of the show.....

 

[aonemarine]

Bill, fly wheel and gears are mailed out and heading your way.

 

[Gerry Sweetland]

Aone, thanks for the video, that was awesome!
The flywheel machined up nice too.
Now you got me curious on how to do that at home and where to get the equipment. And learn how to cast metal.
I'm off to the casting metals forum and Google to see what I can find out.
You wouldn't want a apprentice for a few weeks would ya
Gerry

 

[aonemarine]

Gerry its not all that hard to do and the materials can be purchased from local foundry suppliers or from the net. You useually make your own furnace and tools. If you get on alloyavenue.com you can learn all you need. On that forum Im DavidF stop on by...

 

[jixxerbill]

thanks Aone.. ill be watching for the goodies when i get home... Bill

 

[aonemarine]

I managed to get some time in the shop today. Turned the crank from a block of 4130. I still have a but more to do to it to finish it up but its basically done. Having a nice cold beer now and sitting here spinning the fly wheel, Man it feels nice and smooth and no play.
Bill did you get your parts yet?

 

[cheepo45]

Nice Work!
I haven't even unpacked my motors from Cabin Fever!

[aonemarine]

Got a little more done today, fitted the gear to the flywheel and the pin for the cam gear done. Now i need to get started on the cam lobe. Not sure how to tackle that one just yet. Open to suggestions. In the mean time ill make the points lobe, oil and grease cups, and spacers.
I love sitting here spinniing the crank, I could do it for hours, then again im easily amused.
