I also looked all over for 5/32 E clips and couldn't find them anywhere!!!! Or if I did they wanted allot for them! But....... I found them at the local pep boys! They have a kit that has 25 of them plus a bunch of other sizes and ring clips for like 12 bucks.

Making valves, i've built 3 now and my last one was almost perfect. I now know how to make them i.e. Different steps of Processes/setups so they should come out how I want them/to the drawing!

Finished the rocker arm supports

Ordered one thanks!

Valve guides made!

I stress over the smallest things! Thank you

When making the valve guides and valve it calls for .156" why? Why not just 5/32? Did the guys that made their engines use .156" or did you do some voodoo and move up to 5/32" .1562? Does the .2 even matter??? Also the .170" mounting holes instead of .1695"? (#18 ) why the crazy size call out...

Did you use the size of.156" for the valves and valve guides? Or did you step up to 5/32".15625? What's up with these off sizes?? I have plenty of 5/32" reamers!

Where did you get the timing module tester? The protractor.... is there a name for it? I'd like to try and find one. And your intake valve looks like it activates by vacuum?

How did you make the gas tank? It looks like a copper Tee fitting?

Cylinder bolt hole circle drilling

I'll start with more videos I also remade the top plates as I wasn't happy with the fit!

Now I guess I'll start on the valve guides?

Built 2 sets the top ones are off dim. The bottom ones I'm happy with. They need cleaned up now.

Finished machining the heads now need the small parts for them
