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

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

Have you ever had plans all week to spend time on the weekend in your machine shop to only have your Wife get in the way arrgggg well always next weekend

I was asking a question to Jason and quoted his post but didn't realize it'd repost all his pictures, he's done with the build. If you look thru this thread you'll see his progress.. all the way thru to the end. He has some awesome.. scratch that.. AMAZING talent!

I have something that might be interesting? I was watching Mr.pete222 on YouTube and he was putting a 60* taper on a part so he put his compound at 30*...... Now the hoglet for the cylinders says to put a 5* taper on the cylinder.... Since it calls out 5* on one side would this really be...

Thank you very much.

Thanks (wiggler on the way)
