Engines #3&4 are underway ......the bearing bore and Babbitt should take care of the blow hole

This is very interesting. Yeah, that blow hole looks awful, but your solution sounds OK. I can hardly wait to see more photos. Can you film your processes?

 

[sawyer massey]

I can film .....but when I do the last one I plan on doing it on a move by move .....should have the easiest way to do it by then

 

[sawyer massey]

Today pour all the smalls for engine #4 and the flywheel for #3
That will be it for a while back to pattern making for the drive train

 

[sawyer massey]

Moving along .....lock down in Canada again

 

[sawyer massey]

Pinions and bull gear
The differential pattern .....will try to pour it this weekend

 

[sawyer massey]

Differential pattern so far

There has to be a lot of work in those patterns, Good luck with the pour. Though you may not need it, your other castings look pretty darn good.

[sawyer massey]

Bit of time in the shop tonight.....finish them on the weekend I hope

 

[sawyer massey]

Slow but steady ...it will get finished lol

 

[sawyer massey]

Finley got up the nerve to try the differential gear...... looking good so far ...still hot
Happy new year

 

[sawyer massey]

Well that will work as you can see one of the inner spikes is full .....new that before we poured it .....
But paired it to the ones that are finished
Bull gear and pinion at the right center distance.
Went round no trouble .
Now to finish the guts for it .....need 30 hr days lol

 

[sawyer massey]

Round and round ....noisey but it works ....a little quieter if I load it like it would be... ithttps://youtube.com/shorts/WKUYrwIpOzU?feature=share
