Hi Guys, Just got my ignition in. Must have a timing problem or something. I will sort it out next week end. All that is left to do is mount the radiator. I will take some pictures and post next week. Best regards and Happy New Year to all, Roger

Ranger, P M Research has the same pump in kit form for $26.00 or as a machined assembly kit for $51.00. Regards, Roger

Hello gbritnell, Fantastic job!! What a great model. I had the same idea with Ron Colonna's offy. I split the case and made split bearings with ball bearings front and back. It really simplified the assembly. Best regards, Roger

Hi Chuck, When I wanted to build my 426 I bought a Revel plastic model and took the measurements off of it. Good luck! Regards, Roger

Hi Paul, The aluminum bearing will probably be just fine. I would put a small grove in the shaft and drill a hole in the bearing cap for oil. I personally would make a rabbeted split bearing. Bronze on a soft crank is probably not a good idea. Oilite (spelling?)may be a better choice. Best...

Paul, What are you using for the center bearing? Beautiful work by the way! Best regards, Roger

Thanks Rick!

Kvom, Welcome aboard! I started out with small machines and ended up with full sized ones. I found that you can make small parts on a big machine but it is much more difficult to build a large part (8 inch flywheel) on a small machine. Just my two cents. Regards, Roger

Now it is showing up just fine! Regards, Roger

Why does my avatar not show up? Is it too big? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Roger

Ralph and Shred, I found Movie Maker. Thanks guys!

Ralph, I am a little computer ignorant. Is there a free program out there for editing short movies together? Roger

Hi Tim, I can't do a long one but my digital camera will take a short one. Maybe I can borrow one. I will post as soon as I get it running. Best regards, Roger

Marv, That was a great referal, thanks. Can you or someone let me know why my avatar is not showing up. Is it too big? Regards, Roger
